Reinstalling after a messed up configuration file shouldn't be necessary. At least when using GRUB as bootloader, guix keeps some old (& presumably not broken) system generations around, that can be selected when booting from the bootloader. (I don't recall exactly how the menu is named, maybe ‘Old system generations of $HOSTNAMES?) Greetings, Maxime.
