* Guix System

** TODO add firewall-service to provide a configurable stateful firewall suitable for most desktops and servers
*** TODO add service-extensions to existing services so that firewall-service can be added to %base-services without unnecessary breakage

** TODO use guile-bash to automatically update environment variables when the current profile changes

** TODO support more partitioning and bootloader configurations (full disk encryption without entering password twice, LVM support, os-prober, etc.)
*** TODO support secured boot from Heads/PureBoot (https://docs.puri.sm/PureBoot.html)

** TODO easier loading of out-of-tree kernel modules

** TODO run-time configuration system for services, similar to OpenWrt's UCI


* Command Line Interface

** TODO refresh able to take a contributor name and find out-of-date packages that they have contributed to

** TODO improved search: support AND terms instead of OR, configurable recfmt template

** TODO package --show should allow multiple arguments and not require an equal sign


* Other

** TODO evaluate shepherd service definitions placed somewhere in ~/.guix-profile before evaluating ~/.config/shepherd/init.scm

** TODO support automatic GPG/signify signature verification of origin objects

** TODO better Node.js packaging and tooling
*** TODO package important Icecat and Ungoogled-Chromium extensions. This is a pain point because IceCat steers users away from Firefox Add-ons and Ungoogled-Chromium completely disallows installing from Chrome Web Store.
