To be fair, the proposal was rather sparse, but

meaning that if you specify ~/.guix-home without packages or a manifest
(thus making its home-profile-manifest #f), it does not create/update
the profile.  My wording differs from yours in that mine does not imply
that the directory is created if none exists, but yours is the saner
option here, so we may want to add that check.
