Hi Guix!
Congratulations to everyone who worked on the core-updates merge!
A lot of things have changed though, and I was curious about this new
message I've been getting whenever I invoke `guix`.

I've looked at the section in the manual, and it essentially reiterates
the message here. For me, this is strange. The benefit of using GuixSD
is that stuff like this is handled for me - things like search paths and
the like that need to be taken care of separately on a foreign
distribution are pre-configured here.
I feel like this new locale change should be one of these things that is
handled by GuixSD, somehow incorporated into `%base-packages` and the
environment variables set in the default `.profile` script like the
other Guix specific env-vars.
What do you all think?
Warmly,
Ada

Hi Guix...
This is embarrassing. I sent this email before I actually reconfigured
my system, and it seems like the message has gone away and the locales
are working....... oops!
Please disregard this message!
