Can we make the “guix” command print a warning if the daemon it talks to
only supports gzip substitutes?  I know many users who don’t read our
blog posts and who ignore the news output, but who are very keen on
getting rid of warnings that the “guix” command itself prints while they
want to do other things.

We could probably reach these people with a nagging warning that is
about as annoying as the infamous locales warning :)
