That ???mount??? can invoke ???mount.nfs??? looks like a convenience to
me, not
something highly critical.
Well it's critical if "mount -a" is going to work, and thus if NFS filesystems
(such as /home in
many networks) can be automatically mounted at boot time.
I would say that dynamic composition (???mount??? looking up
???mount.nfs??? &
co. in $PATH) is OK in this case. The NFS service in GuixSD could
extend ???profile-service-type??? such that ???nfs-utils??? is indeed in
the
system profile.
Ok If you think it's acceptable I'll push a change with just the
"--enable-fs-paths-default=/run/current-system/profile/sbin" option for now.
If it
turns out not to be good enough then we can rethink it later.
