You're fine, I more or less agree with you. I think something like it with a
different package would be helpful. What I wrote probably isn't it.

Hi Matt I thanks for your very elaborate and insightful mail. As a Guix
user and enthusiast I definitely agree that documentation is important
for the project. Also if I understand things correctly there are

over-critical and maybe raise the ire of various language fans.
