Thanks. I agree that generations are a key feature of guix. But they seem secondary to showing where guix packages are, how they are referenced, and how to install & update them. I also chose not to show generations because the diagram is at the limit of complexity that can be reasonably digested. Generations might be the subject of another diagram > Users can't install program in the system profile, it can only be done > through system config.scm. Thanks. I tried to suggest this by using a different color for system components and showing 'sudo' for system operations. Can you suggest a better way to handle it?
