Also, if someone chooses to install GuixSD (the system distribution), it
will have [binary] substitutes enabled by default for their trusted
default server.

To clarify, GuixSD is a distro that is based on the Guix package manager. If
you install Guix (the package manager) on Trisquel and do not enable binary
substitutes, the Guix package manager is rolling and sources-based even though
Trisquel is not.
Guix (the package manager) uses tarballs,
The Guix package manager can use binary substitutes if you so choose, but by
default it builds from source.
I have already installed this Guix into my systems, namely Parabola, Uruk,
Hyperbola, Trisquel, but they are all bins-based, with their main package
managers of pacman and Debian, among the 4 systems only Parabola is rolling.
Thus do you stand for trying that operating system GuixSD with Guix
If I understand you correctly, you desire a libre sources-based rolling package
manager. If this is true, I think you might be pleased by Guix. Perhaps you
would achieve more by helping to package for Guix than by starting a similar
project from scratch.
I have also installed the two nonfree systems, namely Sabayon and Calculate,
both are the Gentoo forks, and I need them to study the Gentoo ecosystems to
make ease of my sources-based system as what I’ve announced in my thread.
But is this a good idea also porting Guix to work for SPRM, just like my idea
porting pacman (Parabola) to SRPM? And which formats of sources GuixSD uses?
Gentoo uses almost EVERY formats of sources, but my need is just using SRPM
for dominant and GuixSD sources archives for secondary or
.dsc are sources and .deb are binaries for an deb system, like .src.rpm
(SRPM) both are of course archives.
As others commented: we have GuixSD (the system distribution that uses
GNU Guix as default package manager).
Personally I see Guix's source archives as way better than SRPM and that
like, precisely because it keeps the source files inside a simple
.tar.gz (or whichever similar thing I forgot)
GNU GuixSD is source based system distribution.

Do you remember I have earlier announced the similar idea?
This binaries-free movement is also to stronger certify you are using free
