Okay, a `guix system reconfigure` doesn't remove files in `/etc`, at best I **think** it just copies/overwrites data, but if the `etc` directory of the built system doesn't have a file, it will not be overwritten if something else writes to `/etc`. Is my understanding correct? On the other hand --- is it "properly Guix" for a system component to write to a file in the `/etc` directory? Where should I put this kind of not-quite-configuration cache file? Thanks raid5atemyhomework
