It would pleasantly surprise me :-)

(...well, not really ‘surprise’ — just more Guixy network-transparent 
goodness.)

TBH, I don't see the difference between this & all other actions that 
already connect to external servers.

Is this different? Will it ignore ’--no-substitutes’, or ping servers 
outside of user-approved substitute-urls? Does it need to?

Like a progress bar? Seems more eye-catching than yet another warning. 
Or something more permanent in/next to the downloaded log?

Kind regards,

T G-R
