Hmm, good point.  Rather than making it harder to do what 'guix gc'
does, we should probably just make it do the right thing. :-)

(By making more things become GC roots that is.)

I take back my previous +1 in favor of the 'guix environment' related
solution you mentioned, and maybe others.


I seem to remember 'guix gc' even removing things that are actually
necessary for building a profile, which is a ubiquitous operation of
course.  Does anyone know if that's been fixed on the meanwhile, or
would it be fixed via the 'guix environment' fix?
