I think it hasn=E2=80=99t.  :-)

Basically to build a profile, all you need is Guile.  In practice, it is
very likely to already be in the store (on GuixSD, I would say it=E2=80=99s=
 even
difficult to get rid of it.)

Now, that=E2=80=99s another situation where running --gc-keep-outputs
--gc-keep-derivations should help.  These are the only GC knobs that we
have.

It could be that we need other knobs, but I=E2=80=99m not sure what that co=
uld be.
