I=E2=80=99d rather not make this kind of change.  In general, I think we sh=
ould
be very conservative about changes to the daemon and its protocol,
because that=E2=80=99s the common denominator of all the versions of Guix.

If we change something like it, then we=E2=80=99ll get subtle breakage depe=
nding
on the version of the daemon in use.

WDYT?
