Looks like I missed a discussion on guix-devel. My excuse is that I
can't keep up with guix-devel any more, it's getting too much!

Handy, yes. But is it a good idea from a security point of view? As a
Guix user, I trust "guix" with all its subcommands because I know that
all the code is carefully inspected by several competent developers.  I
don't have the same level of trust in software packaged within Guix.

I'd rather see packages building on "guix" but provide their own
top-level scripts with distinct names. And support for writing such
packages in making it easier to access the user's default Guix profile.

See above :-)
