While trying out a "guix pull" on an aarch64 machine, for which many packages are currently not available as substitutes, I notice an extra- ordinary amount of dependencies, see below (and since I interrupted and restarted it, there are even more dependencies in reality; I remember X11 libraries such as libxi and libxt). Many of them are related to graphical environments, which should not happen for a command line program. Chances are they are pulled in for building documentation (not necessarily of Guix, but of packages that are needed for pulling); but this is still undesirable and should be sorted out.
Actually there is a relatively high risk that on non-x86 machines "guix pull" will fail due to one of the packages not building. And then if the packages are fixed, they cannot be pulled... (but substitutes would still work then).
