So you want to have a distro not only for the 2% linux users but only
for the 1% pc that run with coreboot, I am very optimistic that you will

And why is it for the sake of lisp? Have you proof that guixsd chose
lisp just because of lisp despite some disadvantages? What are the
disadvantages of lisp package expressions?

Blooted GNU tools? So you like the horrible inferior tools that come
with android? its always good if software has less features?
