On this point you Guix developers are so didactic that you run a real
risk of making Guix adoption self-limiting :-(

And you misunderstand what I am proposing. Instead I am saying that
restructuring the interface can make it easier for a novice to find
their way in. Once this novice is using Guix, the same structuring will
help them find and use other parts of Guix.

This actually advances your objective because it brings more potential
"system hackers" into the user base.  How is this bad?
