Whatever the initial guix bug was or what bitrot and system quirks that
may be involved.

There is inherent room for a moral appeal around K&R(Ken Thompson and
Dennis Ritchie) legendary and classical systems security problems.

That accessibility, where interest is ensured, not really seeing
sufficiently amounts of assembly code and integrated circuits amateurs
in lack of professionals with hobbies.

Admitting to the existance of preferences of psychological nature that
influence social and ideological adherance from necessity between
natural and moral activity understood as practical vs cultural.
For GNU this line and differences is inherently strengthened.
