Is this expected? info '(guix) Invoking guix time-machine' does not
mention of any point "too far" in the past to travel to.

It’s expected. It’s not possible to travel so far back. The zero for
time-traveling is the introduction of “inferiors” mechanism around 2019.
Well, since the question is recurrent, I agree that:
1. the manual needs to be improved;
2. the command “guix time-machine” should raise a gentle error when the
specification is unreachable.
Cheers,
simon

I've sent a patch doing both 1 and 2 above to guix-patches; you were
CC'd on it. Let me know what you think!

Really cool! Thanks! The patch LTGM except minor detail I am
discussing in the dedicated patch#64746 thread. :-)
