So that you can use =E2=80=9C./pre-inst-env guile=E2=80=9D which makes sure= that you=E2=80=99re using the Guix modules from the checkout. When you=E2=80=99re using =E2=80= =9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D you=E2=80=99d have to first set the load path to the correct location (othe= rwise it would take the system load path, which might give you older Guix modules). -- Ricardo
