Hi Maxime,

During "guix system reconfigure", there is now window where the

to make things atomic?

That would be a nice improvement to backlog now that such a use case has emerged. However, I think for our immediate needs this one line patch, while imperfect, solves a longstanding problem adequately. So how about merging it, closing this bug, and opening a new bug for the system level improvement?
