I'm totally agree with this; nowadays I always use --dry-run with --no-grafts option. As a user I expect that --dry-run means no building at all. BTW it's not just about ‘guix package --dry-run --upgrade’, it relates to all commands, for example ‘guix build --dry-run foo’, etc. OTOH, if a future ‘--dry-run’ would mean what ‘--dry-run --no-grafts’ means now, than how to achieve what ‘--dry-run’ means now? Or rather: does anyone use just --dry-run (without --no-grafts)? Is it really useful? -- Alex
