The main difficulty here is that, should we eventually decide to change behaviors, we’ll have to devise a migration timeline etc. (As an example, we chose to keep ‘guix environment’ until at least May 2023; all this must take time if we want to avoid breaking user workflows.)Thoughts?
"guix shell" is for making packages available in the environment. Currently, "guix shell -- foobar" does not make any packages available -- it's effectively a no-op except for setting GUIX_ENVIRONMENT. As such, I expect nobody is actually relying on "guix shell -- foobar" to not load guix.scm or manifest.scm and I think that if we go for this change, the migration timeline can be rather minimal.
Greetings, Maxime.
