Hello—

One of the great features of Guix is that one can roll back his
profile.  But I did a garbage collection (gc) that was too aggressive
such that a relevant old profile disappeared.  I presume this is gone
forever.

Is it possible to lock certain generations (of certain users) such that
'guix gc' would not touch it?
