I had an idea/suggestion. How about adding "guix system -u"
feature to guix? So the difference between "guix system
reconfigure" and "guix system -u" would be; the former does the
reconfiguration cum upgrade process whereas the latter does just
the upgrade process to system packages in the existing
configuration.
But this arbitrary distinction doesn't make sense.
The system configuration file is a configuration file. Like any
other configuration file on your system, if you edit it and then
invoke a new ’guix system’, Guix will use the current version of
that configuration, not silently fall back to an out-of-date copy.
That's how config files work.
Unless you're sendmail, and nobody wants to be sendmail.
