If this is where Guix ends up when left=20 unattended, it should be fixed. Easy to do by making the =E2=80=98old generations=E2=80=99 submenu a separa= te file=20 that's loaded =E2=80=98on demand=E2=80=99. Actually doing so would still t= ake as=20 long, so the next logical step is to split it further into chunks.=20 How, I guess, depends on how people actually use & browse=20 thousands of generations.
