I merged it with the one above.

I=E2=80=99m really happy we have these two new commands now, it fixes a gla=
ring
lack.

Thanks for your hard work and patience!

With this in place, and once you=E2=80=99ve recovered from this patch series
;-), it should be relatively easy to add =E2=80=98guix system
delete-generations=E2=80=99 (similar to =E2=80=98guix package --delete-gene=
rations=E2=80=99.)
WDYT?

The next more complicated thing would be to see what needs to be done so
we can restart system services upon roll-back.
