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
