I agree with Ricardo's assesment and in my experience (running
Guix/Debian and GuixSD on physical intel E3 servers for that last two
years) 'guix system reconfigure" has NEVER left my system broken.

The only times guixSD has become broken are when I physically moved the
boot drive around. Maybe this is fixed. For details see ...
