Oh! Thanks! I can force a new symlink each time I re-make guix. Maybe this is a situation where it would be beneficial to embed a date. ISTM a canonical date can be determined for any guix version so it would not lead to un-reproducibility. And it would be a nice gift to researchers doing an archelogical dig 1000 years from now ;-)
