Hi

I would like to make a patch for this if somebody is willing to mentor me.

The idea is

 * removing symlinks-procedure
 * argument to remove x old generations.
     o ex guix system remove-generation --keep-2
       this would remove all system generations besides the latest 2.
 * warning if user tries to remove so that less than 2 genererations
   resides
 * hinting to run guix gc

-- 
Cheers
Swedebugia
