Comment on GNU Guix 0.8.1parent

1. There are few packages, compared to dpkg.

2. It creates guix-specific users for building purposes.

There really isn't much bad to say about guix. You can even switch to it without giving up on your old package manager. That way, even point 1. isn't an issue. Of course, 2. isn't really an issue in itself; `cat /etc/passwd` already contains a lot of users whose purpose I know little about.
