I have some bash script doing the work, but that cannot be run from guix itself because it requires libguestfs. So I'm working on packaging that first, but it is not trivial. Another requirement was tunctl, but that one is tackled already. I've developed it under debian, and can easily test candidate tarballs on a bunch of different OSes manually, until I've got something submittable for inclusion... So I personally opt for the "Optionally" for this release = and will continue to work on it to have it ready for next one. --=20 Vincent Legoll
