Food for thought: Guix could automatically create e.g. hello-0.4 and
hello-0.5 symlinks in a profile. Or guile-2.0 and guile-2.2. The
resolution of the "guile" link itself could remain random, or it could
default to the latest version, picking randomly at ties, or other
policies. At least for executables this could be a nice feature.
