If I understand the manual correctly, this is not exactly what I meant. I 
thought of simply keeping all packages that are needed to build a simple 
project, such as "hello". Or maybe just keeping gcc, as it takes really 
very long to build. But indeed, this is less critical once binary downloads 
from a build farm are possible.

Another option would be something close to debian's "apt-get autoclean": 
Keep all the packages that are still available in the sense that they would 
be built by calls to "guix-build", looping over the output of "guix-package 
--list-available".
