Since that example deletes profile generations, Can we just say "profile generations" instead of "checkouts"? The latter makes me think of a Git repository checkout. Maybe the phrase "cleaning up old profiles" would be good enough, since we put a clear example right after the sentence. I wouldn't mind either way, as long as we avoid using the term "checkout" to refer to profiles and their generations. >> guix package --profile=~s --delete-generations=1m >> ... >> (string-append (config-directory #:ensure? #f) "/current") > > It deletes the old ~/.config/guix/ profiles.

I'll use your suggestion. OK! Could you submit a new patch? Thank you for helping to improve the "user experience"! -- Chris
