Hi,

The thing is =E2=80=9Csudo guix pull=E2=80=9D works on all (?) distros but =
Ubuntu, which
provides a patched sudo.  So we=E2=80=99d have to explicitly mention Ubuntu.

That=E2=80=99s probably a good idea, though chances are people will run =E2=
=80=9Csudo
guix pull=E2=80=9D before they=E2=80=99ve read that footnote in the manual.=
  (A
colleague of mine ran =E2=80=9Csudo guix pull=E2=80=9D mostly because they =
were used to
=E2=80=9Csudo apt-get update=E2=80=9D and didn=E2=80=99t really think =E2=
=80=98sudo=E2=80=99 was unnecessary.)

Ludo=E2=80=99.
