I personally have my Guix profile already split across several manifests, that could easily fit into separate profiles if Guix didn't make working with those an absolute pain.

As for the other point, which is tangential issues remaining, those deserve fixing too, but they're not the point of this debate. Particularly w.r.t. evaluating search paths across multiple profiles, we already have an instance of that even without allowing users to specify multiple profiles easily. Thus we not only can think about them as different matters, we should even derive solutions that work outside the context of guix home! Cheers
