(define $GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH
;; 'GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH' is used by Guix to locate extension commands.
- ;; Like 'PATH', it's not attached to any package, so that users don't have
- ;; to install the 'guix' package (which is not supposed to be installed,
- ;; as it will mess up the 'guix pull' installation) or set the variable
- ;; manually.
+ ;; Unlike 'PATH', it is attached to a package, Guix; however, it is
+ ;; convenient to define it by default because the 'guix' package is not
+ ;; supposed to be installed in a profile.
