First of all I want to quickly write that I was staying quite as I'm not
a Guix guy but just interested in extending and improving the distribution
of info manuals.

I think Guix could serve as the showcase project on how to best
integrate and distribute info manuals in distributions.
For my efforts that Guix has been that. If I was looking for an info
manual for something it almost all the time I found it at Guix.
The only exception was the manual of Lua but for that one there was only
one manual conversion very long time ago.
