     Hi,
     
     can we add something to the roadmap like this:
     
     - guix package --search should displays if the returned packages one
       asked for are reproducible.
     
     Having a distinction between reproducible and not reproducible would
     enable us (or at least help us) to display the progress towards a fully
     reproducible system.


I don't see how anyone can say that package X is definitely reproducible.
Just because it built identically twice, doesn't mean that it'll happen
again the third time - especially if that attempt is on a different 
machine, day-of-week etc

Perhaps there could be a flag to indicate "this derivation has been demonstrated
NOT to be reproducible".
