Since channel descriptions would be maintained by the user and neither
Guix' nor the channel's authors, I think it's safe to say that this
description field would in effect be nothing more but a comment.
Paired with the fact that introducing it would break ABI, I'm not too
sure whether this is a good idea.
Cheers
