GuixSD doesn’t use the ‘mount’ command to mount file systems so that
shouldn’t have any influence.

Yes, I agree.
1,093 packages depend on util-linux. Per the strategy outlined at
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-10/msg00933.html>
this could go to ‘staging’ but I think this should go to ‘core-updates’
which we’ll reopen to fix <http://bugs.gnu.org/24703>.
Thanks,
