I would most of all like to see a CVE-checking service that tells me about security updates. Sometimes I=E2=80=99ll ignore updates for a few wee= ks because I have a setup that absolutely must keep working, because I could not even afford half an hour of brokenness, but I must still do security updates, and I would like Guix to tell me about those. Also it would be interesting to have an auto-update service that only updates /run/current-system That way users would only have to worry about their personal installations, but not about the underlying base-system. I think there are many users who would be most happy if they never had to sudo.
