This does open some interesting possibilities, such as experts defining personalized system configurations which are then easy to install for anyone. Although I am not terribly fond of the idea of typing URLs into an installer. The bigger issue is config.scm - again unrestricted Guile code, like manifests. That's not good for publishing because we shouldn't encourage anyone to run unrestricted code from untrusted sources. Cheers, Konrad.
