Thank you for your most substantive and thoughtful reply!

Unfortunately, I do not know enough to contribute, but I forgot to
mention my immediate motivation: The handling of setuid/setgid
executables in Guix is awkward because of the store.

For example, we must hardcode some paths to /run/setuid-program/... as
in this yet-to-be-accepted patch for OpenSMTPd. [1]

Kind regards
Felix
