Hi Pjotr,
Thank you for sharing your plans.

I guess that the recent commit [1] by Efraim is part of this effort. :-)
By container, what do you have in mind:
guix time-machine --channels=file.scm \
-- environment --container
or
-- pack -f
or
-- system *-image
?

I agree that Guix does not have (yet!) good management of large data
set. The /gnu/store is not designed for that, if I have correctly
understood. Even we have already discussed Content-Addressable Storage
(CAS) on gwl-devel@gnu.org, AFAIR, we have not ended up with a good
plan. Well, it will not be fixed on Friday. :-)
But for sure, it is something to keep in mind.
So, see you on Friday. :-)
Cheers,
simon
