But it's got a great migration story: you run `mackup backup' and it sca= ns for config files for hundreds of applications [1] and automatically migr= ates them. > > Whether or not we would want the exact same experience, the overall visio= n of a single migration command that scans for dotfiles and adds them to yo= ur guix home is something we can aspire to.
