Sure, that would work. But, on further thought, I would like to amend my suggestion -- to change which ever is easier. I say that because ... "manifest" occurs ~600 times in the ./guix directory. I am guessing its use is deeply embedded with developers. If so, renaming it internally seems like a bad idea. And if we write our internal manifest into the profile and call it "specifications" it will only add the confusion. OTOH, "manifest" occurs only ~50 times in guix.info and the "user API" seems limited to the --manifest option and the functions: specifications->manifest and packages->manifest. Furthermore it is a new concept for new users. So I don't think users care what we call it. Bottom line: change whichever is more convenient for developers. HTH - George
