I got this idea after reading ‘(guix) Invoking guix pull’.  

    (1) Under the hood, ‘guix pull’ updates the ‘~/.config/guix/latest’
    symbolic link to point to the latest Guix, and the ‘guix’ command
    loads code from there.  Currently, the only way to roll back an
    invocation of ‘guix pull’ is to manually update this symlink to
    point to the previous Guix.

Some folks just do ‘/root/.config/guix/latest -> ~/.config/guix/latest’
symlink.  But I like to have a script which I could run manually as
needed.
