How much of the guix git repository content can you remove and still
have a working OS?  In other words, can we strip away almost all of the
packages and still have a minimal bootable system?  If we minimize that
set of really-core packages, maybe there can be one team that works on
this minimal bootable OS and produce stable images that are fast to
update.  If people want to add more packages, there is always the
current "fat" rolling Guix git repository that you can add on top of the
small base OS.  Just an idea that I've come back to while watching the
Guix git repository grow over the years.
