Thanks for your appreciation, that means a lot to me!  It's been quite
some work and also a lot of fun, most of the time ;).  And it feels very
good when the work is so welcomed.  I am grateful for having the
opportunity to work on this, and Guix makes it so easy!

There will definately be a blog-post; I have already started to work on
it.  I think it's probably best to time it after core-utils has been
merged into master, when "guix pull; guix system init .." actually
installs a system built from 357 bytes.

Very welcome, thanks,
Janneke
