Hello,

What about offering a way to specific the label of the new menu entry,
or otherwise a suffix or prefix of the label?

That is, you=E2=80=99d do:

  guix system reconfigure -m "The config that works just fine, I think." co=
nfig.scm

and that string would be used as the label itself in the GRUB menu, or
as a prefix/suffix of the automatically generated label.

Thoughts?

Ludo=E2=80=99.
