* gnu/services/base.scm (%base-services): Add ‘/usr/bin/env‘ to
special-files-service-type.

Guix,

I didn't even realise this was ‘missing’.  Is there any reason not to include it next to /bin/sh?

Sure, it's not pure, but then why provide /bin/sh when nowadays /usr/bin/env is both more common, more flexible,>

Feel free to gently enlighten me.

Kind regards,

T G-R
