How Guix distinguish between "doc commit" and other commit?
I mean, is it not the latest Guix manual that "guix pull" pulls?  With
which guarantee / confidence?

BTW, as discussed elsewhere, it should not be possible to pull non
substituable commits by default, in the meaning: commit for which the
outputs are not already built by the build farm.  Well, put again on the
table CI as in [1] for a recent "again". :-)
