Hi,

I suppose that was for substitutes, in reference to:

  https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/substitutes-are-now-available-as-lzip/

The idea is worth discussing, but IMO, romulasry, discussions should
happen on guix-devel rather than guix-patches… unless the discussion
comes with a patch, of course.  :-)

Closing!

Ludo’.
