LOL

This whole update to guix pull was somewhat a breaking change, but 
unfortunately it was very hard to imagine the repercussions (horrible 
bugs) down the line...

Could it have been completely avoided by introducing it as such and 
forced people to reinstall/upgrade by reinstall (overwriting all files 
and invalidating the store etc.)?
