Hello!

I think this addresses the =E2=80=9Chash guix=E2=80=9D issue (this will no =
longer be
needed with this patch), but it only indirectly solves the =E2=80=9Cguix pu=
ll=E2=80=9D
suggestion issue, right?

It prevents the suggestion, but only because the symlink appears to be
new.  If you change the mtime of the symlink, or if you run:

  GUIX_DISTRO_AGE_WARNING=3D1s guix pull

I think you still get the =E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D recommendation.

Perhaps we should add it to =E2=80=98default-skeletons=E2=80=99 instead of
special-casing it here?  WDYT?

Thanks for working on it!
