I'm on the fence as well, it doesn't seem like something you would use
very often, compared to eg. `-l` or `-u`, especially if you mention that
you would use the option more often if this was implemented (I'd expect
more of a "I use it all the time but typing it is annoying"). `guix
size` and `guix graph` are the more useful commands imho. What do you
use it for specifically (maybe that would help us understand the
use-case a bit more)?

At the same time, it's probably fine, we don't have many options for
`guix refresh` and it's not like dozens of them will get added overnight
(and they maybe don't deserve a short argument either).  I'll leave it
in your hands 🤠.

Best,
