Since I am French, I am good as moaner and I would like to avoid the ramblings of some grumble party. :-) I agree with you that it is important to reflect ourselves about our practises and we need to be critical about what does not suit us. In order to be pragmatical and list actionable items, could you specifically list what you consider as a toil or cognitive overhead? Maybe you could share your script helping you. It could be a starting point for something going to etc/ similarly as etc/committer.scm or etc/teams.scm. Well, etc/guix-install.sh somehow started as a script for eliminating toil – it looks similar as the situation: all the steps are described in the manual but they are too many effort for installing and most newcomer were dropping before completing.
