An option to erroring out: how about make it a feature to be able to 
specify precedence-order, say in the .guix-channel file. For example, 
that might make it easier to customize files present in guix master by 
copying them and making modifications. A custom channel might also want 
to specify the option to disallow a dependent channel to take any 
precedence.

Best regards,
David
