I would personally find it weird to warn about the possibility of losing Internet connection. This is outside the scope of GuixSD, in a way. WDYT? However, in the past people reported that nscd, the name service cache daemon, would sometimes fail without any good reason. If you think that is the case, then this is definitely a bug that we should be addressing. Thanks, Ludo’.
