Hey Guix,
In Guix System the system log files (/var/log/messages, /var/log/debug,
etc.) are world readable by default. Since `dmesg' was restricted to
privileged users a while ago [0] it seems reasonable to make these files
readable by privileged users only as well.
What do others think?
Regards,
Diego
