Congrats again! As the unofficial Enlightenment maintainer I'm happy to
work with you and to try to not grumble too much about changes.

I currently have efl-1.24.1 and enlightenment-0.24 sitting in a separate
branch waiting for our heatwave to break so I can go back to my normal
machine and test them out in person. In addition, I have a couple of EFL
apps which I haven't pushed to Guix yet. Some of them I haven't gotten
around to, some of them need more work. I've also previously tracked
down some of the Moksha apps (enlightenment 0.17 fork) for consideration
for packaging.

I see Enlightenment is 4 of 4 in the desktop list and I certainly won't
be offended if it receives less attention than the other desktop
environments and services. It has fewer moving parts than the others.
