I can't see that Guixotic is ever going to be a catchy name. It
is too diffucult to pronounce.
How about something like Gnuix ? This would keep the GNU and th Guix
connection, is shorter and much easier to say.

Hi Guix,
attached is a patch that adds a package recipe for CUPS.
There are a couple of problems with this package, one of which is that
the test suite is failing for some reason. I have not been able to
figure out why the cupsFileFind test fails, so I disabled the tests.
I'm also not sure if

I think it deserves such special status over projects such as gNewSense
because GuixDistro is much more under GNU's control than any of those
distros that are GNUified as an afterthought.
I do not see any way gnu has more control here, other that guix folks are their
own downstream. Those

Long story short, I’m tempted to refer to the standalone distro as
“Guixotic”. The name was proposed by RMS; it’s a play on words that
makes fun of criticisms that have depicted the GNU project as
“quixotic”.
I agree with what you write, that is, we don’t want to do too much
branding around that name, and instead emphasize GNU. In my view, this
is indeed some sort of a code name for use in technical docs and such.
And then we also need to work to get a clearer “special status” in GNU.

OK.
I’d like to merge core-updates to master Real Soon Now. The last
missing bit for me is the Libtool upgrade, which shouldn’t be too hard
(surprisingly, Libtool has a number of test failures on MIPS:
http://hydra.gnu.org/build/181662/nixlog/2/raw; I’m tempted to disable
tests on MIPS altogether.)
Last month Mark installed Nginx on Hydra, with proper caching of
narinfos. After some debugging, wip-http-pipelining is now in a good
shape: it has performance comparable to what we currently have, *and*
it’s single-threaded and shows a progress report while downloading
substitute info (aka.
