This is awesome! I really wanted such a feature back when I was poking around with a 'guix deploy' prototype. Now I could use the Scheme API to 'guix copy' to build an OS on my workstation, then ship it to one or more remote machines and use guile-ssh to run the code to instantiate it. Exciting! - Dave
