That would make the "technical" default coincide with the "social" default. Another option discussed at the time, but which would require to start from scratch in a sense, is to have everything Guix related under /gnu. I have always found it weird that the database registering the contents of /gnu/store was not close to /gnu/store; by moving it into /gnu, one could delete/backup/restore the directory easily. Andreas
