The other day I ran "guix package -d 1d" thinking it will preserve the
current generation, but it didn't. If I'm not mistaken, there's no
recovery from that either.
Any command that will delete even the current generation should probably
interactively warn/prompt the user by default, or fail, unless given a
--force flag. Documentation should also warn I guess.

I believe d26eb84 fixes that.
There’s no --force flag, but I think it’s unnecessary: it’s always
possible to rollback to generation 0 and from there remove whatever.
Thanks,
