Thanks for pointing it out.

In my opinion, this change should be discussed more publicly so that a
consensus can be reached about it.

This change affects the workflow of everyone that hacks on Guix,
including people who are trying it for the very first time.

It's a big change.

It's not okay to only discuss such a big change in a ticket with the
title "can't substitute etc/teams.scm command as doc suggests".

I am asking for this to be reverted until a consensus is reached.
