For those too lazy to click the link > The GNU Daemon Shepherd or GNU Shepherd, formerly known as GNU dmd dmd was short for "daemon management daemon". Basically, it's what powers all services running on GNU Guix instead of something else, like systemd. I think this new name may sound "friendlier", but at the cost of precision. I immediately realized what dmd would be, but I had no idea what GNU Shepherd would be about.
