Have a drink together is missing because these times we have

Yes, but it needs a lot of re-work and change, IMHO.  And we ends with 3
files: $GUIX_PROFILE/manifest capturing the states of $GUIX_PROFILE and
the 2 others deducing an approximation of these states.  Well, IMHO,
automatically produce this approximation at each «action» on the profile
adds complexity and I am not convinced it is worth.

Cheers,
simon
