Maybe I misread something but instead I would prefer to move
~/.guix-profile under XDG standard, i.e.,
 - ~/.config/guix/current (or whatever name remembering it is used by
"guix pull")
 - ~/.config/guix/default (or 'profile') playing the role of ~/.guix-profile

Other profiles could be added (by default) under
~/.config/guix/<name-it>. Well, instead of ~/.guix/ I would prefer to
have ~/.config/guix/.

However, I agree that it could be a first step to have Channels
manager (as it was discussed some weeks ago) or Profile manager (also
discussed some weeks ago).


(Personally, I prefer having my profile living in the folders of my
projects, but that another story. ;-)

All the best,
