Aha, that indeed sounds like a nice and clean way to solve the general issue, which I guess is that software built with 'guix environment' does not have the "privileges" of software built from a package recipe and put into the store, in particular the privilege of having dependencies protected from GC. Looking forward to it. :-) Taylan
