IMO Guix is great for hackers, maintainers and sysops. The doc is
appropriate for such users, well done, spare, and already voluminous.

This footnote suggestion, and others rejected in the past, are motivated
by my assumption that you will want to make Guix attractive to less
sophisticated users.

Maybe my assumption is wrong? Maybe you want only "elite" users?

Or maybe you want to defer the less sophisticated users to later in the
development cycle?
