Hi Simon,

I am not native-english. The dictionary says:
1. An advanced system, method, or design is modern and has been developed
from an earlier version of the same thing.
2. Something that is at an advanced stage or level is at a late stage of
development.
3. An advanced student has already learned the basic facts of a subject
and is doing more difficult work. An advanced course of study is
designed for such students.
IIUC, you are understanding “advanced” as #3 when it can also be
understood as #1 or #2.
Well, I do not have an opinion about the term “advanced” for Guix. For
sure, it seems worth to underline that the concepts are not as usual
distro. :-)
Cheers,
