I didn=E2=80=99t comment on the patch specifically because I thought my rep= ly might make you change your mind. ;-) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-07/msg01241.html All the packages used by the initrd are automatically part of the initrd. The proposed patch would allow people to add unused packages to the initrd. Could you explain how/when this would be used? Maybe as commands for use by Bournish when it=E2=80=99s used as a rescue shell? Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
