This is done at pull time, right?  Personally, I would prefer at gc
time, and even maybe with an option to “guix gc”.

Because, IIUC, every 5 days, the entries older than 1 month will be
deleted.  As an extensive user of the time-machine, it means that I will
do this extra work more than often, slowing down the already slow
“time-machine”.

Cheers,
simon
