Hi Liliana,
Thank you for your response :)

I think this would be the best way to resolve this issue. Also, thanks for your
explanation.

I agree! However, I think it would be nice if `guix system describe`, `guix
system list-generations`, `guix home list-generations`, etc.. indicated when a
generation was created with the `-L|--load-path` argument specified. As you
said, it 'voids you provenance', so I think its something that should be
visually indicated to the user.
