Makes sense.

Indeed.

Essentially there=E2=80=99s a =E2=80=98wip-deploy=E2=80=99 branch with earl=
y code and probably
mailing list discussions about how this should work.

Note however that =E2=80=98guix deploy=E2=80=99 is intended primarily to de=
al with
upgrades of existing GuixSD deployments, I think.  IOW, it=E2=80=99s like =
=E2=80=98guix
system reconfigure=E2=80=99 rather than =E2=80=98guix system init=E2=80=99.
