One thing I deeply appreciate about Gnu Guix is the fact that I have assura=
nce that I have installed and am using software that respects my fundamenta=
l software freedoms. My understanding based on Guix's packaging guidelines =
(https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Packaging-Guidelines.html) is tha=
t a package should include all necessary software, libraries and resources =
necessary for the program to function; either directly or via dependencies.=
 However, it appears that awscli@HIDDEN (and all former versions of the v2 v=
ariant of awscli) download a docker image and run it. This is evident by th=
e following, where guix shell is used to run awscli@HIDDEN in a container, b=
ut docker and its daemon are not present.

=2D-8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
=E2=9E=9C guix shell -C awscli@HIDDEN -- awsv2 --version
2.2.0
AWS CLI v2 command: docker run -i --rm -v /home/collin/.aws:/root/.aws -v /=
home/collin:/aws amazon/aws-cli
14:45:09 - awscliv2 - ERROR - Executable not found: docker
=2D-8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I propose awscli@HIDDEN be removed immediately from guix.

Kind regards

PS: I have a packaged version of awscliv2 (2.15.6) available https://git.re=
kahsoft.ca/rekahsoft/rekahsoft-guix/src/branch/master/rekahsoft-gnu/package=
s/python-xyz.scm#L244-L329

It is still in need of some cleanup, and awscli is in an odd place (given t=
he dependencies they vendor and fork), but it does work, and it depends on =
sources. This also follows closely to what nix does (see https://github.com=
/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/admin/awscli2/default.nix).
