The patch appears to be by PantherX (see: the @panterx.org mail address, 
the use of "we" and the corporate phrasing). The mail asks for feedback, 
so I give feedback. It appears that PantherX will interact with Guix in 
the future; PantherX making false or misleading claims makes me less 
interested in reviewing patches, so this seems important feedback to give.

I could of course out-of-the-blue send a mail to whatever PantherX main 
e-mail address is, but I'm not a customer of PantherX, so that would 
seem to be a pointless endeavor to me -- if it's anything like other 
companies, it will just be moved into the trash.  I believe that 
directly responding to the apparent employee of PantherX (and at the 
same time writing some more technical comments) has higher chances of 
success.

Summarised: this seems a good place to make such comments and I'm not 
aware of any better places.

Greetings,
Maxime.
