No problem.

Using accurate terminology on Wikipedia is an intention of mine, and
changing the About page (and the FSF's endorsed distros page) not to
call GuixSD a GNU/Linux distro would help in that regard, but it's
arguably a petty issue so I don't intend to bother others with it. :-)
(And a guix bug report wouldn't be the place to discuss it anyway.)
