In general, I agree with you, especially since most packages do not
really take very long to build if there are no substitutes available, or
they do not change very often.

However, I noticed today that we do not have substitutes for linux-libre
5.4.64, which was released upstream and added to Guix two days ago. In
my experience, we have rarely required users to build linux-libre, and I
think the current situation is a serious regression for our build farm.

We should prioritize building the kernel.
