Hi,

That=E2=80=99s not a bug: =E2=80=98guix system reconfigure=E2=80=99 does no=
t restart already
running services, simply because it cannot tell whether now is a good
time to restart them.  It=E2=80=99s a decision that=E2=80=99s left to the s=
ystem
administrator.

However, note that =E2=80=98guix system reconfigure=E2=80=99 loads =E2=80=
=9Creplacements=E2=80=9D for
each Shepherd service, such that next time you run =E2=80=98herd restart FO=
O=E2=80=99,
you spawn that new version of FOO.

Does that make sense?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
