How does shepherd work on a non-guix system? Can’t be it be configured like other daemons to read its configuration from a file, e.g. from /run/current-system/etc/shepherd.conf and be told via signal to reload its configuration from disk? … (I feel a bit cheated right now. This behaviour makes Guix System entirely unsuitable for server use. It shouldn’t be advertised as supporting transactional upgrades and rollbacks if those require a reboot.)
