This really needs to be lowered IMHO. 2GB being the minimum should be
treated as a bug.

Personally I'm not using Guix on my armhf machines *because* armhf is
buggy. I would certainly love to use it, but right now postmarketOS is
sooo much better on armhf. It would be great to be in a position where
I could submit bug reports from armhf but just doing it on i686 is
already a challenge.
