Hi Efraim,

Thanks for applying the update.

Good question.  I haven't really given it much thought because I
personally don't use any of those features.  I'll make a note to take a
look into enabling some of them, though realistically that will probably
remain buried in my to-do list unless I know there is a Guix user that
actually wants one of those features.

Perhaps worth noting: Of the subset of git-annex users (266) that took
the 2018 survey [0], under 10% reported using mostly the assistant,
while over 80% said they used mostly the command-line.  Who knows how
representative that is, but I wouldn't be surprised if the
Guix/git-annex user subset skews even more toward the command-line.
