Ludovico,
I think it is a good idea to add roll-back to the guix pull with a
flag of some sort. However, I would be wary of people unintentionally
rolling-back packages for not understanding the usecase of such a
feature. However, I suppose that we can not "idiot-proof" everything
because they did not read the documentation.
