OK.  I've lost track, sorry.  I'll have another look.

I'm afraid I don't know about "commonly", particularly with Guix, but
I'm surprised if people would expect to get the respective MPI
development environment for an MPI program they install any more than
they'd expect the compiler generally.  The separation other
distributions have seems appropriate to me as a system manager and
packager -- even if it's not the typical HPC way (Spack et al?) -- but
that's just my opinion.
