That sounds like a welcome improvement.

I applied the patch with a few changes:

  • Changed the option name from ‘set-gids?’ to ‘setgid-commands?’,
    which I think is slightly clearer.

  • Tweaked and moved its documentation to ‘doc/guix.texi’.

  • Adjusted the commit log as per our conventions (see
    <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html>).

Thank you!

Ludo’.
