~/.guix-profile/manifest usage with "guix package -m [manifest]" / "guix pack -m [manifest]" etc..

Hi there,

I was thinking than "~/.guix-profile/manifest" was a valid manifest file due to 
his name, but it seems not that is the case from the error i've got

After some search , i've finally understand that the instantiated profile 
couldn't be used as source profile for "guix package -m" etc... due to the same 
words despite use case and is a bit confusing

It will be really convenient to only have the instantiate profile to easily 
maintain it in a vcs system.

Despite what ludo said in 2016 on IRC, i didn't see those options yet.
Did i missed them ?
If not implemented yet, any news about this feature ? :)

Thanks,

Best regards
