Oh, good.  I'v been tempted for quite a while and will try to switch
when this patch series goes in.  I'll be moving bits the
executable/configuration bits (that are without secrets) from my
home.git to guix-home.

yeah...could be I'm the only one using kodi and znc, but I expected
ssh-agent to be kinda popular...

Ouch, why that's...terrible?  Is there any reason stuff is not
contributed "up stream"? ;)

Yay!  Let's go for that, then.
