Maybe it would be a good idea to upgrade it then. This incompatibility 
has probably deterred many potential Guixers- it almost deterred me. 
Having this hacky workaround is just not good UX.

I'm not sure what upgrading GRUB would involve; maybe someone else on 
the mailing list has an idea on where to start? :)

Warmly,
Ada
