Ok that does indeed sound like something that is unlikely to work in
Guix, though keep in mind that Guix can be used on top of other
distros, possibly distros using SystemD (e.g. this mail is composed on
Debian+Guix), so it might be useful after all, though I don't consider
it in any way essential.

Greetings,
Maxime.
