Ah yes, it could a nice mechanism... instead of reading "guix pull
--news" and miss the notification about a change in guix-daemon, maybe
it could be nice to have, similarly as "old Guix, please run guix
pull", something like "old guix-daemon, please run guix pull as root".

If you speak French, and as an attempt to improve the situation about
first level / tutorials, you could be interested by this 1h video [1]
and attached materials.  Well, maybe it helps your colleagues who have
not jumped into Guix, yet! :-)
