In my opinion if the selfdescription is to be changed, it should still reflect that it is hackable, liberating and dependable, I think this is a good description too. So something like "GNU/Guix - your hackable, liberating and dependable (...) with an emphasis on/move towards reproducible builds." or something better than this sentence. -- ng/Ni* http://libertad.pw:8080 Email is public.
