Isn't that dangerous? What happens if you invoke "guix install xyz" after that? That would have guix mutate the contents of ~/.guix-profile , even though the .guix-home/profile is derived from a declarative manifest, right? Or does it at least only swap out the link for a new .guix-profile directory ? I'm too much of a chicken to try... I mean I can see what you mean but I'm not sure that guix expects the user to do that.
