At first, because of the slowdown: it may be a few hundred milliseconds
for you, but it's several seconds for me. But actually, even if it was
several milliseconds, I still wouldn't like it, as (IMHO) /etc/profile
should only set variables, and not run external programs.

What about making some environment variable which will be honored by
'operating-system-etc-service' procedure. So depending on this variable
that 'eval ...' command will or will not be added to "/etc/profile"
during 'guix system ...' process.
For example, when I do:
GUIX_IGNORE_SYSTEM_PROFILE_ENV=1 guix system build my-config.scm
the "etc/profile" of the built system will not contain those 'eval ...'
lines. WDYT?
