Mekeor,

That's why I was asking because I never saw it explained in the Guix manual.

Maybe it is some GNU tribal knowledge that we are expected to eventually learn? 
dunno.

But, Efraim just gave a nice TLDR.

I'll try to find sometime to rework what he said into the docs unless someone 
else gets to it first ;()

all best,
