Proposal: Add `Guix` tag
It is viewed as just a nix fork with scheme on top of in many communities I am in, while yes it might be started off as that but it has grown significantly in the recent years that it should be treated as its own project.
I have been just in guix community for like year and so but I have seen very good changes, some of them would
- The new rust build system
- Moving to Codeberg (this brought many new contributors)
- new v1.5.0 release :)
But what I like most about the guix project is the people there, It is small but very tightly-knit community. So I believe guix deserve its own tag now.
ps - I am adding more text that follows the guidelines, thanks @gerikson for pointing this out

People who use nix might want to filter out guix stories that have got nothing to do with it and vice-versa for guix people.
The increased complexity for submitter and mods is justified by the fact that this tag will set a clear distinction between the two and this should make it easy for both submitter and mods as tagging gnu guix 1.5.0 release as nix tag doesn't seem right.
