(title
(en "@command{guix system reconfigure} now supports kexec"))
(body
(en "If you are using Guix System, you'll be delighted to know that
@command{guix system reconfigure} now loads the new system for fast reboot
@i{via} Linux's kexec mechanism---unless given the @option{--no-kexec} option.
The same goes for @command{guix deploy}.
Kexec allows Linux to reboot straight into a new kernel (and operating
system), bypassing the BIOS and the bootloader. The @command{reboot} command,
starting from Shepherd 1.0.0, has a new @option{--kexec} (or @option{-k})
option that lets you reboot into a previously-loaded system; use
@command{reboot --kexec} to take advantage of this new @command{guix system
reconfigure} feature.
Run @command{info \"(guix) Invoking guix system\"}, for more info.")))
