Even more important than this, is that the users do not end up with a =
broken package manager  following a guix pull. Which is what happened =
pretty often in my experiences with GuixSD. Yes, yes, you can =
=E2=80=9Croll-back=E2=80=9D. The bottom line is , the system should not =
break in the first place. GuixSD should not inflict its development =
branch of the package manager on the world, and the stable branch should =
be regression tested
