Nice tip, Pjotr!

We can add it to the cookbook.  Shall I add it to the blog article now
that it's published?

In https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-10/msg00565.html
we discussed the possibility to remove a specific profile from the
environment, which would be a more general version of what you propose.
It currently has some shortcomings, but maybe we can fix them.
