I think Guix has a huge impact on neighboring projects (Guile, RDE, Hurd, etc) carrying them forward and making it easier to work on them.
Today, want to send some kudos to Hurd team. You are doing great, pretty happy to see alternative kernels going forward! It's one of the hardest CS tasks and it's pleasure to see the progress with it. Very few people are brave enough to commit into such adventure.
