I don't need to quote anything to think that: - Providing a user tool to fetch a tarball - Displaying a direct link to a tarball in our UI ... have the same "steer users" effect. Feel free to disagree, however when doubt emerges about FSDG compliance, a consensus needs to be reached on <gnu-linux-li...@nongnu.org>. If you want your change to be included in Guix, please start a discussion on that mailing list explaining what you are proposing and ask if other people thinks this is OK in regards of the FSDG. -- Mathieu Lirzin
