@dthompson @civodul yeah I definitely feel you about the mailing list lol. this is certainly a differend. its especially difficult because there are people who will jump at the chance to draw a parity between free software and supposed "free speech" discourses, where they want to make the case that our zero tolerance for hateful discourse is unjust if we can't also maintain a zero tolerance for like, providing links to trusted community maintained sources in order to ensure that free software isn't a gated community for consumers who can afford to seek out H-Node listed gear.

I think that Guix should be seeking to lead and advance the state of free software rather than tail those dogmatic about preserving its obvious warts and mistakes. I think that part of that is to recognize that software freedom is first and formost concerned with hygiene. As an ideological force -- one that is concerned with prohibiting mere mention of the enemy -- free software transforms into a bureacratic force that is stultifying and antithetical to free software's proliferation.
