I missed this request previously :/
Originally, I reverted the suggestion because it was causing problems
for some users on #guix, and I thought it was risky to propagate the
user's environment into a privileged context.
But perhaps it's not any more risky than using sudo, in general.
Ludo, please let me know if you'd still like me to reinstate the advice
to use `sudo -E`.
