Good point. Let's go in that direction then.

Are you suggesting that guix "filesearch" polls a specific instance of
the Guix Data Service (e.g. data.guix.gnu.org) to download the file
index fro the current Guix revision?
What if the file index for a specific Guix commit (e.g. a very recent
one) is not yet available? I suggest we fall back to the first older
index that's available, with a warning. Thoughts?

I don't understand why `guix publish' wouldn't work here. Can you detail?
Thanks!
