I'm not sure how that would really fix the issue that people are hitting: Say we move some of the content to /gnu, things like profiles, the daemon socket, all the things that Guix looks for and symlinks to won't be found if Guix looks in /usr/local/var/guix and /gnu instead of /var/guix and /gnu. > Andreas Jookia.
