"Great". I was very much in favor of this change initially: Have a
consistent Guix UX whether it be in Guix System or on a foreign distro.
Ludovic convinced me it might adverely affect the UX of the foreign
system, so yeah, I also don't know.
Most users that install Guix on a foreign system might be converting to
Guix and look for more Guix consistancy, or they might.
Let's have the universe tell us what it thinks. We tried the current
situation and it's not great.
Pushe to master as 78390634d76c0c75c6e93742fa7caec965194641.
Greetings,
Janneke
