Interesting! So, there would be like a 'guix-history' channel that one could use with time-machine? I still think it's really nice to have a single repo for understanding the codebase and its context, and if shallow cloning has gotten more efficient, that's a nicer option. But it sounds like there is a lot to explore here. And I think we should be bold going forward!
