== Introduction ==
-This Makefile enables to easily install and remove Guix.
-Installing Guix when needed and removing it when not needed anymore is useful
-with the Replicant server as:
+This Makefile was made to easily install and remove Guix when Guix was
+not yet in Trisquel and/or that the Guix installer didn't have any
+uninstallation code.
+
+The idea was that installing Guix when needed and removing it when not
+needed anymore was useful with the Replicant server as:
- Having a Guix installation requires to keep it up to date. It also exposes
a service for potential privilege escalation if there is any bug found in
it.
- We don't have infinite space on the rootfs, and when we run out of space,
we might want to be able to reclaim some.
+
+However nowadays the same can be done more easily within Trisquel
+now. And we can work with Trisquel to fix security issues within (the)
+Guix (daemon) when they appear.
