Subject: What prevents "guix package --profile" profiles from being gc'ed?

Heya all,
I'm a bit confused about profile management for profiles that *aren't*
your system or default user profile.
guix package --profile=/home/cwebber/guix-profiles/test -i hello
then I run "guix gc", it seems like that profile is still kept around.
David seemed to think that maybe the profile link would be under
/var/guix/profiles/

It doesn't look like it.
What's keeping that profile around? Will it ever get gc'ed? Is it
somehow recorded in Guix's state files?
Just curious,
