I have two questions:

  1. What’s the impact on ‘guix size gerbil’?  Overall we should find a
     balance between feature usefulness and size.

  2. Do all these really need to be propagated?  Shouldn’t they be
     regular inputs?  If propagation is required, please add a comment
     explaining why.

I propose to close this issue since the initial goal has been met, but
please open a new one to follow up on this.

Thanks!

Ludo’.
