During the earliest days of Guix certain relatively voluble community members had a tendency to create an impression that you -did- have to buy into the entire philosophy or you were actively unwelcome as a user.

Things seem to be much more sensible these days but it's worth bearing in mind that a bunch of people who tried to be early adopters will have come away with that impression and plan your evangelism for the current state of the project accordingly.
