Hello, I have not followed everything from this package, and I am distantly involved with Guix, but maybe it’s worth considering whether the maintainer wants the project to succeed or whether it is meant as a weapon against whatever they understand as DEI. Maybe it’s safe to assume that the goal of the project is simply to attract controversies. In which case, its expected short life time will be of little use and will badly serve the investment the users put in it. Maybe the maintainer wants this fork to succeed. In this case, having them clarify their intent for the project will go a long way. I really think convincing the maintainer to remove the anti-DEI sentiment would be more sustainable than defending or rebranding the project. Especially if the discussion comes from someone who cares about the project enough to do the work to package it for Guix, against the known controversy. I’m not sure we can invoke the Guix Code of Conduct here, because it generally can’t overlap with the spaces of individual projects. For instance, sqlite is notorious for having an organization that is incompatible with any reasonable code of conduct, and it is not only packaged, but a direct dependency of guix itself. Now we know the sqlite dependency was not a problem, but it seems risky to introduce xlibre now. I hope this helps. Vivien
