Isn't it worked on still?
My understanding was that we are waiting for:
1. ERIS to happen -> https://eris.codeberg.page/ which is here ->
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52555
2. and also https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/GSoC-2023 which uses
ERIS.

Not sure if it has been picked up yet. I dont follow gsoc closely.
