The version that was pushed has:
(setvbuf (current-output-port) 'block)
I’m in favor of removing it because it’s “impolite” so to speak :-) to
have such a side effect buried here. (guix ui) enables line-buffering
on startup anyway.

PS: Commit 01d7e8c2782f61e741f8beff7888adfbdb61779d shows an
incompatibility with some previously-fine uses of ‘cut’, but surely
that was the price to pay. (An option would be to behave
differently depending on whether stdout is a tty or not, but that’s
probably bad style…)
