Oh, we should really work towards unbundling things from ‘go-ipfs’.  Any
idea how difficult that would be?

“guix size syncthing”, for instance, returns mostly tiny Go packages,
which looks good to me, no?

Anyway, if you think there’s a problem, could you email details to
bug-g...@gnu.org so we keep track of it there?

Thanks!
