Re: [PATCH 0/2] Avoiding incompatible locale data in LOCPATH

So with current ‘core-updates’, someone on a “foreign distro” needs to
do:

  guix package -i glibc-locales
  export GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale/2.22

Note the extra “/2.22”, which comes from commit f2d7bbb.  This is a bit
of an annoyance for end users, but the point is that eventually this
would allow us to recommend things like:

  export 
GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale/2.22:$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale/2.23

The only question is whether having the “/2.22” prefix by default is a
good idea.  Opinions?
