Perhaps such an emacs package could have a smaller closure,
by depending as simply as possible on wayland (sans Xwayland)?
If the low level stuff were wrapped nicely in some guile extension modules,
I suspect other uses than emacs would be found.

Discussion without triggering automated import would just leave
"[release-plannng]" out of the Subject: line, or have e.g. [release-discussion]

Anyway, I thought
And on a forum, someone else can say,
"Don't trust that thing with hash xxx...zzz, it blew up for me," and I can hold
off until there's a consensus.
WDYT?
BTW, why not build multiple installer ISOs targeted for different
architectures, and specialized needs?
(for smaller ISOs and other benefits). I assume one could already do this with
guix, but why not leave the
whole ball-of-wax to git clone, and let people with common architectures have
less to download and less
irrelevant-to-them choices?

This would be a radical change in the approach to
reproducibility, maybe dynamically selecting from a
whitelist of trusted/tested substitutable executables with
hash names in /gnu but not necessarily (though not
excluding) binaries produced with guix source guarantees.
Seems like guix is turing-complete enough to provide this
kind of substitutable foreign functions already, so might
this be a way to avoid mass recompilations?
Or is this already available, but not so much used?
I am not sure where to contibute thoughts like these, where
they would be of interest rather than distracting. (Pls
excuse the noise, if that's what this is to you).

Oh, if you haven't already, also check into guile's regular expressions, e.g.
"info guile Ret Ctrl-s regular expressions Ret Ret"
And also try guile's repl by just typing "guile Ret" and then ",help

If that's right, then it would seem that it would be possible to access both

Where guix is factorable into separately useful components, I think the same
