While I am relatively new to functional package management, I find it inconsistent that inputs in Guix are provided by variables. I believe the inputs should be provided by functions that deliver the most suitable version of a package. For most packages, that is the most recent version unless pinned. A package definition would be the list of available versions rather than just one version. One day, those functions could even be combined with importers in the sense that many versions are potentially available. Substitutes would only be produced and served for versions actually used, plus the most recent version. Kind regards Felix Lechner
