I'm not going to comment on the wishlist thing, but this seems like a fairly huge problem: 1. The documentation doesn't mention this anywhere! Not in the bootloader docs, not in the disk-image docs, not in the "limitations", not in "hardware considerations" 2. I've spent several _days_ now digging through Guix source code and never found that message. 3. The build still completes with a successful exit code. The only way to find out the image doesn't have a bootloader (-> is unusable) is to try to boot it
