Do you plan to use some other store path so it won't collide with Guix maintained installation on the same machine? OTOH it may be interesting to generate only (in my case) RPM metadata so native system's package manager can track Guix generated files and use pre/post install scripts for interactions with Guix (to install/remove/protect them). That would glue Guix to system even better. Just wild idea when thinking about your idea...
