Hi Hilton,

The last item does not say the whole story:

I am the one who suggested to not invoke ‘guix package’ from shell
startup files:

  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/77035#8-lineno17

However, I hadn’t realized that this had previously been introduced by
宋文武 in commit 40310efde9b4a4f2cf98081d6cd10f843685ebb6.

Since this patch essentially reverts this commit, could you share your
thoughts on this, 宋文武?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
