Yeah your expectations for =E2=80=98guix system reconfigure=E2=80=99 were t=
oo high I
guess.  ;-)

Seriously, I don=E2=80=99t think we=E2=80=99d want it to automagically migr=
ate the
store.

Maybe it could check whether the root partition in the OS declaration is
the same as the one that holds the current store, but I=E2=80=99m not sure =
if
that can be done reliably.  Thoughts?

Thanks,
