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
