it *should* be, it's strongly advised: using manifests has a _very_
little learning curve, it's a **huge** enhancement at a very little
cost; every Guix user *must* know this from the very beginning

at first a newbie *could* not fully understand and appreciate this, but
this distinguishing feature must stimulate each and every newbie to
understand the underling concept of declarative stateless installation

...aka: Guix is very smart as a package manager (with rollbacks too!),
but it'm much more than a package manager

...just my two cents :-)

Thanks!
