Hi,
%harmless-collisions is consistent for Guix packages, but users can also
add their custom packages through GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH. It would be great
that if such custom packages collide, the warning message can be
removed.
Thanks,
Clément

Ha ;-) Okay I understand.

Yes, Firefox and Icecat have lots of collisions, and they are displayed
even when I install unrelated stuff. But it's fine, I can definitely
live with it. Closing it!
