Slim was unmaintained and buggy, so GDM was chosen as better 
default.  The discussion was public.

Hyperbolic untruths like this gets us nowhere.

Replacing unmaintained software with maintained alternatives is 
the sign of a healthy distribution.  We'd also gladly accept a 
patch adding your favourite DM to Guix!

Meanwhile, I've (duh) realised that the 'wares you object to 
simply share a common author.  I'm sorry, but ‘I don't like Red 
Hat!’ is not an argument to anyone but yourself.

I'm not a fan-boy myself.  I dislike systemd upstream, GNOME 
everything, and the only thing keeping NM installed here is 
inertia: so many saved networks.  I'm genuinely interested in any 
real issues you encounter with these packages — but that just 
ain't one.
