This would be a radical change in the approach to
reproducibility, maybe dynamically selecting from a
whitelist of trusted/tested substitutable executables with
hash names in /gnu but not necessarily (though not
excluding) binaries produced with guix source guarantees.
Seems like guix is turing-complete enough to provide this
kind of substitutable foreign functions already, so might
this be a way to avoid mass recompilations?
Or is this already available, but not so much used?
I am not sure where to contibute thoughts like these, where
they would be of interest rather than distracting. (Pls
excuse the noise, if that's what this is to you).

BTW, why not build multiple installer ISOs targeted for different
architectures, and specialized needs?
(for smaller ISOs and other benefits). I assume one could already do this with
guix, but why not leave the
whole ball-of-wax to git clone, and let people with common architectures have
less to download and less
irrelevant-to-them choices?

I've gotten the impression that it's a compromise

a binary-installable
guix (guix-maint-install.sh ?) which would install a minimal /gnu/store
like guix-install.sh if no existing /gnu/store, _but either way_ would install
guix-maint as a new generation of guix-maint in its own profile.
The idea is to be able to load a safe minimal and quality-controlled-up-to-date
seed environment (mes-derived?) which can be invoked as a base
for first-time install or later for maintenance or experimentation.
Maybe it could be a safe-mode boot option from grub, to run as something
selected from minimal profile alternatives?
HTH trigger some useful ideas,
even if this is ignorant newbie rambling :)

Wondering what log syntax might support writing a graph tool[1]
that would produce a chart of commits and reversions
with boxes of synopses connected by arrows.
[1] With output opt
v4 which will come next week ;-)
I hope to run guix on it, so if anyone else is running PureOS on a librem,
I would appreciate any tips getting a robust setup going.
Have fun a Guix-Days!

ng the same thing by different names may reduce future naming
options,
and may muddy the peer-name namespace, so maybe consider using sub-commands
or -adverb.
