Indeed.
We need to work on the next “guix pull” once 0.12 is out, and “channels”
are one of the things.
Guix is different from Nix{,pkgs} here in that there’s no “Guixpkgs”:
everything works together, and we upgrade everything in lockstep. That
way we make sure packages rely on features that the (guix …) modules
support.
