I don’t think this is a good idea.  But maybe we could list use cases on
the front page, with links to tutorial-style info?

For instance, “set up a development environment” would link to something
that explains how to use ‘guix environment’ in a development context;
“deploy an OS” would link to ‘guix system’, etc.

Then we’d need input from Felipe or some other web design expert as to
how to integrate it.
