Currently yes. The plan is to reuse --delete-generations and --list-generations from =E2=80=98guix package=E2=80=99 in =E2=80=98guix sys= tem=E2=80=99, which would be more convenient. > Recreating grub.cfg with 'system reconfigure', at least, would be needed = in > order to prevent fubar on trying to boot into non-existent menu > definitions. Still, that will create yet another system profile... Yeah. When =E2=80=98guix system --delete-generations=E2=80=99 is implement= ed, we can arrange to have it regenerate grub.cfg such that it does not keep references to now-deleted generations. Ludo=E2=80=99.
