So in that case I'd have to set - GUIX_PROFILE_DIR, - GUIX_PULL_DIR, and - GUIX_CHANNELS_FILE (or alternatively GUIX_CONFIG_DIR) just so everything is in one place? Sounds a bit overkill to me. Could we make GUIX_PROFILE_DIR and GUIX_PULL_DIR default to GUIX_CONFIG_DIR in the (very likely) case that everything should be put into the same directory?
