You cannot have a /usr/bin unless you are on a foreign distro such as Trisquel or Parabola or any other than GuixSD. If you are on a foreign distro, Guix does not control your sudoers file; your foreign distro does. Regarding the EDITOR variable, if Guix is the installer of the needed editor it is the only situation when this regards to Guix. Would you please clarify your issue?
