Hello!
After reconfiguring a remote machine on latest 'master' (post recent
core-updates merge), I found that offloading to it would just "hang".
After some debugging I found that `guile --listen` failed to import
(ice-9 readline). Installing guile-readline for the offload user did
the trick.
It would be great to make Guile fail gracefully and print a message
about readline being unavailable instead of just looping endlessly. Or
at the very least document the requirement.

Ah, good catch! This was using the default .guile from before
2ba2c98d8aa695cce608313833a36c61b0fb3428. I have verified that copying
the new .guile from /etc/skel works even without guile-readline
installed.
It would still be good with a better failure mode, but I'll file this
under "pebkac" for now.
Thanks!
