I understand that there would be some duplication of functionality w.r.t. ‘guix time-machine -C guix-channels.scm -- shell ...’, but if we already go the DWIW-route, why not go all the way? I think this should only apply when running ‘guix shell’ without arguments, if that was unclear. Love the proposal - Jelle
