Agreed=2E

Emacs-Guix is a frontend in my opinion=2E
We should make sure that everything it provides is possible on the command= line as well=2E

I would like to try to prepare a patch but this might be a little too chal= lenging for me atm=2E to implement=2E (without guidance)=2E

Maybe a general command to query the current running system configuration = is what we want and this listing of running services (and default services)= is a subset of what it provides=2E
