I see a fourth option, which is to keep both.  :-)

In effect, it seems there are now two diverging projects.  I think
that’s fine: more bootstrapping work and more diversity is better!

For Guix, the Scheme-based approach Janneke et al. have been pursing
remains the most attractive.  At any rate, work on Haskell will probably
benefit Guix (and other distros I guess!) to have a fully
built-from-source Haskell platform.

Thanks for explaining,
Ludo’.
