Yeah, locales are one of the bigger user experience problem with Guix :/
The warnings are a definite improvement over how it used to be, when
glibc would simply ABORT any program that was using the wrong version of

We are still searching for a solid solution to the problem, as we've
been tweaking the documentation for years now, but people still report
the warnings all the time.
