I think there=E2=80=99s a lot of (well deserved, as far as its implementati= on goes) badmouthing against =E2=80=98guix pull=E2=80=99 on #guix ;-), but nev= ertheless, I think it=E2=80=99s a useful tool for users who don=E2=80=99t want to manage= their own Guix checkout etc. by themselves. The manual does mention in several places what it=E2=80=99s for, I think. Ludo=E2=80=99.
