Hi,
There are valid use cases for uninstalling Guix:
- On a Trisquel VM I use Guix to add matterbridge to it with guix pack.
Once the tarball is done with guix pack I remove Guix and install the
pack to limit the attack surface. To do the updates I install Guix
back and re-do a tarball.
- On some machines I sometimes need Guix but when I don't need it
anymore I tend to remove it not to have to maintain too much software
(having to run guix pull when you don't use Guix is probably not a
good idea).
So I use a standalone script I did for that, but the patch in this bug
report is more complete than my script, so I should probably find the
time to pick up that work.
Denis.
