Okay, thanks for the explanation! I was confused since 'guix system delete-generations' also refused to drop the defective generation. A kind user on IRC suggested the use of 'roll-back'. I see how that is consistent, but still think the labeling is imprecise. Maybe we could instead offer the designations "(default)" and maybe also "(booted)"? Kind regards Felix Lechner
