Same here: experience with Guix-Science has shown that this is
very
tricky. :-)
There is a big difference when talking about LLM-assisted
software: It
will be trivial to fix breakages in a channel that itself allows
LLM-assisted code.
Maybe that is even a simple way out: people who like to write
LLM-assisted code might actually prefer to have their package in
a
channel that can be maintained by an agent.
This could be our way out, but it also means that Guix needs to
make it even easier to deal with extra channels. So far adding a
new channel has always felt a little heavy. A few commands to
manage channels might lower the threshold. Recently we've got
command line options to fetch a channels file to pull from;
working a little more in that direction might make channels cheap
enough to make it more attractive to keep packages independent of
the collection that's part of Guix.
