So, I stumbled a bit with a fairly recently installed aarch64/arm64 system. The install went fine late December, but then I tried "guix system reconfigure" a couple days ago, and even though it is a very simple configuration (based on bare-bones.tmpl with grub-efi)... it pretty much needed to

this may help: https://github.com/attila-lendvai/guix-crypto/blob/main/src/guix-crypto/service-utils.scm#L56 and you should grep for its use in that repo. w-i-m ensures that the GEXP's that are instantiated in its dynamic extent will "capture" these modules as their dependencies, and i think
