It's not a good idea only in my opinion :-)

I personally don't like when someone decides what settings I should use
so much, that I disable all these dir-locals stuff completely (using
'enable-dir-local-variables' variable).

But if I understood this situation correctly, Pierre suggested to:

- add a function to the Guix ".dir-locals.el" (does dir-locals support
  functions at all?)

- the function to set up a third-party package (Emacs-Guix)!  Why Guix
  should do it?

Both these points doesn't look right to me.
