In theory, it'd be possible, albeit with some caveats:
1. Shepherd doesn't (didn't) have a full guix-style records API, which
might cause discrepancies in otherwise normal-looking Scheme code.
2. It'd probably make shepherd a compile-time dependency, which is
avoided in other places in the code, i.e. (gnu build shepherd)
3. Shepherd records are (to my knowledge) not print-readable, so we'd
have to move them through G-Expressions through some of our own code
anyway; how strongly that would replicate the API is up to
debate/speculation.
