        (body
          (en "The linux-libre kernel's persistent storage (pstore) mechanism
can use UEFI non-volative memory to store information that would otherwise be
lost, such as kernel panic logs.  However, this can permanently fill the
non-volatile memory on some hardware implementations, breaking the ability to
reconfigure Guix System.  Therefore, this mechanism has been disabled by default
in the build-time kernel configuration.  Users can re-enable it if desired.")))
