Hi,

My hope is that people would be able to quickly learn enough to get
their OS config into shape, without having to “learn Guile”, or not
explicitly so.

There are things we should do to help achieve that goal, such as
improving error reporting, but that remains an important goal for me.
It’s about empowering users.

Perhaps we could reuse bits of the installer to assist users in fiddling
with their config.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
