 ** TODO “GuixSD” renamed to “Guix System”?
 ** TODO “Cuirass” renamed to “Guix CI”?
+** TODO Replace "texlive" dependency with minimal TeXlive unions
+TeXlive is rather important for lots of users but also lots of packages.  Some
+packages (e.g. "asymptote" and "mit-scheme") depend on the full TeXlive
+distribution (5GB).  This is way too much for many users (low disk space, low
+bandwidth, or simply lack of time), so we need to work out the set of strictly
+required TeXlive packages for each package depending on TeXlive.
+We need to package the missing individual TeXlive packages in those unions.

+** TODO TeXlive profile hook <https://bugs.gnu.org/27217>
+We’ll need a profile hook so people have the option to directly install
+individual texlive packages in their profile.
