Good!  I’m closing this bug now, but do reopen it if you think there are
other things we should do.

Hello Guix!

I would like to report that "guix pull --delete-generations" is missing
and its absence can be considered as a bug.

Due to this, users cannot straight-forwardly delete guix pull
generations and garbage collect them via guix gc. This causes too much
accumulation of generations and its files in the storage.

I request the admin to set the severity and priority of this bug to
"high".

Thank you!

Regards,
RG.
