Hi! I think GuixSD should follow NixOS's lead and provide /usr/bin/env. The reason is to support scripts that can run either on GuixSD or on some other system. For example instead of: #!/bin/bash we can do #!/usr/bin/env bash So we just need /usr/bin/env in the root and nothing else. Alternately, I am not sure if this would work but we could make a form of "guix environment" which populates a profile that is mounted at /usr in a container. That would allow many more non-Guix tools to run. WDYT? Andy
