Single data point: As a Guix user (and occasional contributor, albeit not a
committer), I would very much prefer a system that does not rewrite the history.
When someone wants to correct their name (for whatever reason), I would prefer
it to be done going forward, not retroactively.

I think making such broad statements without some empirical study is not great,
since it is, as you said yourself, just your claim not supported by anything (as
far as I can tell).
