I read these posts with interest. It is worth noting that the complained-about
organization, Inria, supports Guix as well & has close historical ties to the
project (although it is does not have decision-making power here AFAIK.) It is
a shame that Inria have treated this matter with such apparent disregard.
I have heard folks in the Guix maintenance sphere claim that we never rewrite
git history in Guix, as a matter of policy. I believe we should revisit that
policy (is it actually written anywhere?) with an eye towards possible
exceptions, and develop a mechanism for securely maintaining continuity of Guix
installations after history has been rewritten so that we maintain this as a
technical possibility in the future, even if we should choose to use it
sparingly.
