While I agree that we should avoid duplication, note that (guix build utils) is build-side code, so changing it causes rebuilds. > I think we should also consider factoring out some of these utils in a > separate guix-utils library that can be used by other guile-projects > WITHOUT depending on the whole of guix. (guix import utils) may not necessarily be useful. I’m wary of packages that provide “miscellaneous” tools and I think we should avoid that. In more focused cases like the monads code I agree that it would be nice to break these out into separate projects. -- Ricardo
