Okay, a `guix system reconfigure` doesn't remove files in `/etc`, at best I 
**think** it just copies/overwrites data, but if the `etc` directory of the 
built system doesn't have a file, it will not be overwritten if something else 
writes to `/etc`.  Is my understanding correct?

On the other hand --- is it "properly Guix" for a system component to write to 
a file in the `/etc` directory? Where should I put this kind of 
not-quite-configuration cache file?



Thanks
