There is nothing to port; I claim it's not feasible technically +
legally at the same time.

So, how many open source projects would benefit from such work? I know
that we are the only ones using GUB, is that now different with Guix?
Because doing the work in a general fashion for nobody to use it, is a
waste IMHO.

I'm not sure I agree on "too late", but certainly "late". As such, it
would at least be fair to consider my arguments for why I don't
consider proposals brought forward repeatedly without proofs as
alternatives. I did think quite a bit about different ways, and I
certainly didn't like writing yet another build solution...
