I think it would be better if users didn't have to set up a Guix
development environment to work around this bug.
My hunch is that the people who never updated root's packages and thus
experienced the bug are the people who are least comfortable with such a
solution.
What about Ricardo's "really gross fix"? [0] I don't understand it enough to
know why it's gross. If it works and does not break other things, at
least it could protect people who have not yet hit the bug, but will hit
it the next time they run `guix pull`.
