I have a graphical system with fluxbox, some electrical engineering & FPGA 
programs, D, Rust, Haskell, gimp, a (Guix) cross compilation environment for 
armhf - and a lot of Python packages.  It's basically what I need for work and 
some play.  That's reeeeally annoying to use with 80 GB (I should know, my old 
system partition has that...).

I have 568 system generations, I win ;-)  But it's mostly because of excessive 
bootloader testing - no normal person should have that many system 
generations... so I guess it's an overestimate.

Wait.  AFAIK one cannot delete system generations [yet].  Has that changed?

But deleting user [package] generations works, yes.
