We honestly even have a better version of this these days with systemd-nspawn, and it's OCI runtime-compatible.

Using nonfree packages in Nix feels like buying wine at the grocery store: small, infrequent, ephemeral hassles. Using nonfree packages in Guix feels like having to go to a small, obscure package store across town.

I tried Cedar out for a small research project when it was first announced, and it felt incredibly clumsy compared to what I could have done in OPA. That was probably 8-9 months ago, so things may have changed.
