Hi!
As a followup to our discussion on IRC, here’s a proposed news entry for
‘core-updates’ that we should push soonish (I can do that later today or
tomorrow but feel free to do it before!).
I probably missed important items, maybe build system changes?

+ (body
+ (en "Core packages have been updated, following months of hard work
+by contributors. Noteworthy package upgrades include:
+
+@itemize
+@item glibc 2.35;
+@item Python 3.10;
+@item Perl 5.36;
+@item Mesa 22;
+@item GCC 11 is now used as the default compiler.
+@end itemize
+
+A major highlight is the introduction of the so-called @dfn{full-source
+bootstrap}: packages are all built starting from a 500-byte program called
+stage0, which is then used to build a higher-level interpreter, a basic Scheme
+interpreter and C compiler (GNU Mes), and so on, until @acronym{GCC, the GNU
+Compiler Collection} is finally built. This is a premiere and a huge step
+forward in terms of transparency of auditability.")))
