The deployability dream is what originally drew me to Guix, and then GuixSD. Originally I was planning on something separate, Guile based but able to deploy Debian and etc type systems. Un/fortunately I think the main advantage to Guix as a deployment system seems to be if you're really going "all out" and can reproducibly build the whole thing with it. Otherwise, what can you do? I guess you could still build *some* configuration, like apache configs and etc, but you'd still need to set up your base system to know to point at the current profile, or whatever you'd do...
