While this happens to work (again) now, that doesn't mean it 
always will or should be considered supported.

We should reserve the right to ask future questions to which the 
safe/sane/common answer is ‘no’, without phrasing it awkwardly 
just to make an unthinking stream of ‘y’s happy.

 $ guix-install.sh
 …
 Would you like to NOT enable the Cool Experimental Feature? 
 (DANGER) [Y/n]

Conversely, I'd like to add a comment that does commit to always 
keeping ‘yes '' | bash guix-install.sh’ working, assuming there 
was no other input or detected issues.  Also nice for humans in a 
hurry.

Does that seem unreasonable to anyone?

Kind regards,
