However, binary substitutes for the latest version are usually not available, and it can take a very long time to build from source, possibly multiple days on low-end hardware. This might tempt or force some users to put off upgrading the package and run an older, vulnerable version until a binary substitute is available or they have a chance to set aside the uptime needed to build from source. I don't know what Guix's CI system looks like or how packages are queued for building, but if there is a way to prioritize builds for certain packages, I propose that substitutes for packages like ungoogled-chromium should be built as soon as possible once there is a new version. Other security-critical packages with potentially long build times that come to mind are icecat and linux-libre.
