Maybe, but I personally don't think so, because it depends on the
distribution where you are running Guix on.  I think it's assumed you
familiar with all distribution's pitfalls.

I don't know about how to describe it properly.  'Do not do a thing from
guix environment' is a good for mailing list, but bad for the
documentation, I believe.  Because the documentation should teach people
and not give a solution.  This is why Nix discontinued their wiki site.

What do you mean by disable?  You could invoke it at any time with a
clean Bash session.  Also I would recommend to search for a Fedora's
Bash feature for installing programms if a command is missing and
disable/remove it.  Fedora's folks probably could help this it.

Oleg.
