The problem with the main text is that it is written from the view
point of technology. I would like something more human that reads like
an instruction for packagers. Be great if we had something useful
there, otherwise questions will be asked again and again :). And I
will have to point to guix-notes every time.
I agree my version is less accurate, but it acts like a summing up and
(actually) is precisely the way I look at these statements. We can
have both. I am not saying we should replace your section.
Anyway, maybe I am the only one seeing it like this.
