Especially for search engines. And it also bad for the reference. You will need to specify what is the 'Guix source' all the time you mention it. I think about '~/src/guix' Git repository as I see this. I think the best for understand phrase is a "third party package repository" or "package repositories" for short. Is it too general or could we stick with it? I also like Ricardo's mention 'Guix package collection' on the IRC. Maybe 'Guix collections' will be a good candidate? It's unique unlike 'package repositories', which is good for search. Oleg.
