They are basically helping Hurd
and there already is an instalable Guix image.
GNU+Linux was just a temporarary patch and it shows.

Ok, where's the Unix support from Ken, Ritchie and so? Are you aware that most of research on that area flew away to Plan9 and Inferno being fed up of X11, virtual terminals from the 70's (rio+rc it's far superior), ioctl's, a hard as hell network stack, POSIX, a shell where you have both aliases and functions?
The list of quirks it's huge. Plan9 tried to solve everything you read in Unix Haters Handbook. walk(1) + grep(1) solved the complexity of find(1).
No one it's bound to terminal emulators where the VT100 frames break cut and paste. You don't have to write 20 lines of code just to start a connection against X or a socket. Yet people praised that obsolete technology.
It's madness.
Everyone tought the same about DOS and Win9x vs Windows 2000 and XP. Where is DOS now? On legacy industry machines and hobbyist Freedos Machines. No one cares about Win9x anymore except for retrogaming. Most of the people working for the Win32 API migrated to C# for a good chunk of custom appliances for companies, leaving out complex low-level C++ code for game engines, drivers and the like.
Think whatever you want, but Unix compared to the clean Plan9/9front design it's like praising the Windows ME disaster when the NT based OSes are many more times more advanced.
Entreprise world? People are getting fed up of containers and tons of dependencies for NPM, JS_change_of_the_day, tons of unoptimized setups just spawning new machines in a cloud grid over and over and the like making most of the efforts today focused on deploying technologies instead of technologies themselves which are the ones doing the actual work there.
