Sorry, for some reason I didn't get any e-mail and noticed only
closing the bug. I'll subscribe to bug-guix ML to prevent it.
That’s expected, yes. What makes you think it’s a problem?
First, it was conflicting experience with what you were saying on IRC.
User experience was a bit confusing

thanks
I think the initial “bug” report can be closed. Feel free to open
another bug or wishlist item if you think something must be done in this
area.
Thanks to both of you!

Generation number is not always the maximum of all generation numbers
and so generation number is not always monotonic.
Steps to reproduce:
Lets start with on generation N.
1] install some package (you'll have N and N+1)
2] install some other package (you'll have N, N+1 and N+2)
3] delete gener
