I had an idea/suggestion. How about adding "guix system -u" feature to guix? So
the difference between "guix system reconfigure" and "guix system -u" would be;
the former does the reconfiguration cum upgrade process whereas the latter does
just the upgrade process to system packages in the existing configuration.
