So, should one do the following instead?
$ emacs ~/path/to/my-config.scm
Modify the file to your liking
$ guix pull && sudo guix system reconfigure

Oh, it doesn't matter.
This file can be whatever and wherever you want it to be (mine's
/etc/guix/system.scm because eww ‘config’). It's in /etc by
default since that's where most people will expect it and it's the
Unixly-correct place to put system-wide configuration files, and
this is the mother of all system-wide configuration files :-)
Now, to be blunt, I don't think
“The normal way to change the system configuration is by
updating this
file and re-running ‘guix system reconfigure’. One should
never have
to touch files in ‘/etc’[.]”
can reasonably be read as self-contradictory, but if you want to
add an ‘other’ at the end I don't think anyone will object!
Kind regards,
T G-R
