Yes, because Docker is silly.  It will continue to grow.
It should be better when you use an external volume as /gnu/store and /var/guix.

Yeah, someone needs to create /tmp.  That someone is not Guix (it would be 
weird).

/tmp is a common directory, so it does not belong to any of the parts that
have been composed, or maybe there should be a standard "/tmp" part?

Is there such a standard "/tmp" part in Docker-land?

Similarly, but worse, with /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/services and so on.

Yes, right now it builds current master.

Sure, could easily make it do both.
