I was ready to revert the changes when I saw a reply from Leo Prikler in this thread. They had really good ideas that I believe fix the annoyances you reported about the recent changes, while preserving the new plus points (per profile management of Emacs packages, 'guix environment --ad-hoc' that works for Emacs, simplified build system). Perhaps you could try it out and see if it indeed fixes the problems you reported? Thank you, Maxim
