About "guix system"?

Yes, for sure let reintroduce it.

But I miss why it would work for one case and not for the other.  I
was looking at 'check-forward-update'.

Short commit ID are handled by tag-or-commit (guix time-machine and
guix pull).  If there is a discrepancy elsewhere with short commit ID,
it should be fixed overthere, IMHO.

Else, I do not understand what you are asking.  From my understanding,
it would not make sense to have short commit ID handled with (commit .
"abc123") for some part of the code and (tag-or-commit . "abc123") for
some other part.

Cheers,
simon
