Right, I went with something like you describe:

  2ddfb7b99b pull: No longer print upgraded/added packages upon completion.
  bc8bea1739 pull: '--news' no longer shows package lists.

That is, one can run ‘guix pull -N --details’ and get what you asked
for.  Running ‘guix pull --details’ alone still implies ‘-l’.

Let me know if anything’s amiss.

No, ‘guix describe’ doesn’t display news, profile changes, and all
that.  It’s meant to just show the raw channel info.

Thanks to both of you for your feedback!
