Wow!  Ease off a bit!

You might not noticed that, but today Guix is the most vivid part of GNU.  And 
I could not image an action, that might cause more damage to GNU project, than 
urging Guix lead developers to leave.  Even if you believe that forking 
software over political discord is good thing to do (despite it does not align 
well with the rest of your message), by all means, you would not able to 
outcompete them, so it would simply ended in Guix out of GNU.  So it even more 
harmful than urging RMS to leave.  After all, RMS is mortal and, alas, will 
leave us and GNU sooner or later, while Guix is not necessary.
