AIUC, this list of changes is displayed once and then =E2=80=98lost=E2=80=
=99 (to=20
the average user) when they clear their screen, right?

Or is there a command that returns this nice list of differences=20
between two guix-profiles that we could suggest running when the=20
default is truncated?  It could default to current and current-1,=20
and would solve both (minor) irritations.

Am I making sense?
