OK, now I understand your point and I don't object against your patch. OTOH I'm pretty sure there are people who will be surprised that when emacs is started under "guix environment", it ignores packages from the "~/guix-profile". >> However, I agree that GUIX_ENVIRONMENT should be honored, but as I wrote >> *not instead* but *along with* the default profiles.

I don't have a preference, so I agree with any choice :-) -- Alex
