Hello Guix!
Here’s what I get on my freshly booted system:

As you can see, this is not great.
This comes from the load-path expression in shepherd-*.scm:
Toggle snippet (27 lines)
(eval-when
(expand load eval)
(set! %load-path
(cons "/gnu/store/8a49xjf71dxzj2j4vqh4gw840xv1shxg-module-import"

(string-append extension "/share/guile/site/"

%load-path)))
(set! %load-compiled-path
(cons "/gnu/store/lfj61bg7bb0aypqwj47j2dqnwc9bvpiw-module-import-compiled"
(append
(map
(lambda

(string-append extension "/lib/guile/"

%load-compiled-path))))
Problem is that every time you reconfigure, the load path grows. Seen
on an important machine (ahem…):
