I haven't looked at Guix but in the discussions around this exploit for NixOS they mentioned that regenerating autoshit for xz-utils would not be something they can/want to do because that would add a lot more dependencies to the bootstrap before other packages can be build. Kind of funny how a requirement for bootstrapped builds can add a requirement for trusting not-quite-binaries-but-also-not-really-source blobs.
