It all boils down to what you desire GuixSD to become. If you want it to be a hacker playground, than any model is good. If you want it to be a reliable OS used in production some day, then, frankly, you need live up to the reliability promise you have on the distro www page, even if this means

Even more important than this, is that the users do not end up with a broken package manager following a guix pull. Which is what happened pretty often in my experiences with GuixSD. Yes, yes, you can “roll-back”. The bottom line is , the system should not break in the first place. GuixSD shoul
