It's a good thing for the user to have, but IMHO it's also a good thing that the
system do not rely on it being there, and only rely on %state-directory.
I think the patch is a good idea, but I wouldn't remove the $HOME/.guix-profile
symlink. So you keep the best of both worlds.
Just my uneducated 2cts feeling...
