Guix documentation uniquely relies on ’sudo’.  And for instance, I was
not aware of such propaganda. :-)

Well, I do not have an opinion, but AFAIK, Guix does not work on the top
of OpenBSD (yet! who knows if someone will not port a BSD kernel with a
GNU userland as Debian did some time ago [1] ;-))

For me, it is a niche and for consistency, all the commands using ’sudo’
should also provide the ’doas’ way.  And I am not convinced the burden
is worth.  Well, I do not have an opinion.
