Guix revision N creates a cache that will be read by revision N+1, upon
‘guix pull’ completion.

Yes, it would be better.

I guess both ‘license’ and ‘supported-systems’ should be list of
strings. It doesn’t really have an impact on startup time (I thought
you were suggesting storing the cache as an sexp instead of an object
file.)

Yeah, dunno. Maybe an option would be to create the index in such a way
that it is substitutable.

Yes.

No; rather, it would look up the license in a dictionary and return the
corresponding object or #f if it’s not a known license.
