I think the current defaults are more appropriate; after all, they really allow “garbage” to be collected. > Alternatively, how about some kind of developer config fragment that > would modify a system configuration with settings that are a good > idea for Guix development, if not general use?

So I don’t know, I’m sympathetic to the idea of developer settings in Guix System, but I’m not sure what it could bring beyond these two options. In the meantime, I propose to close this bug and to discuss this potential new feature separately. Thanks, Ludo’.
