Agreed.
Emacs-Guix is a frontend in my opinion.
We should make sure that everything it provides is possible on the command line as well.
I would like to try to prepare a patch but this might be a little too challenging for me atm. to implement. (without guidance).
Maybe a general command to query the current running system configuration is what we want and this listing of running services (and default services) is a subset of what it provides.
