Read <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/40514>.

I did play with the obvious alternative, but got so bored -- 
squashfs is no forgotten 1990s Linux-only extension to iso9660! -- 
that saving a mere 20% more was not worth it.

By this I hope to trick you into thinking it is, and submitting a 
patch, because to do so you'd have to fix one of the Forever Bugs 
that *is* worth fixing: separate /boot support.  :-)

Kind regards,

T G-R
