Nice!

On a side note, Ricardo did recently some stuff as UI for packages,

And on another side note, I would like to have the abilities to join or
intersect graphs; be able to visualize “guix graph foo bar” using D3.js,
or the intersection or the complementary of the intersection, etc.
Something similar for packages as the Ludo’s proof of concept for
services,

Sadly, time is not respecting what we are doing without considering
him. ;-)
