I often use "guix gc -D" for being able to launch again a command and
then check against SWH or other upstream. Because the "deleting
links" is too much long, I am doing ^C at this step. Therefore, be
able to skip this step when running "guix gc -D" appears to me the
thing to do. Well, if "guix gc -D" is not doing it, then I am forcing
it by interrupting it; which appears to me worse than status quo.
BTW, if I need space, then I do not use "guix gc -D" on few items but
instead I use the options -F or -d or -C; here I am fine it takes the
time it takes. :-)
Well, «"deleting unused links" GC phase is too slow» is not new
because it is bug#24937 [1]. Therefore, status quo is really annoying
and I would prefer to skip this GC phase when using option -D although
it is not optimal. Or remove just the one link that matters.
