I still think it ought to search ~/.minetest/games, though, for those
things that may not be installed using guix. For example, minetest has
a built-in means of downloading games/mods. While it's best to use a
package manager, it also breaks functionality

(I use IceCat at home and FF at work.)
So when users compare IceCat to "Firefox", they're not likely
performing a valid comparison, since they're going to use a modern
version of Firefox.
I think Rubén is working on an ESR upgrade, so mayb
d is an employee at the FSF. I
proposed to both rms and John Sullivan at different points that maybe
IceCat maintenance can be made part of Rubén's responsibilities at the
FSF. The FSF recently announced a paid contact position for LibreJS, so
maybe at some point IceCat can see some attention too.

I agree that's much better to provide a separate package with the SVN
