I pushed those two commits to 'core-updates-next', and am currently
building out that branch on my X200.  So far I've successfully built the
core packages and 'hello', and am now continuing on to build the rest of
my Guix system.

Anyway, I'm long past the point where the slight differences made to the
new bootstrap binaries to make them deterministic should have any
effects, so I think it's fairly safe to predict that these commits will
not introduce new problems.

For now, I did as you suggested and pushed the commits to
'core-updates-next', although personally I'd be inclined to simply push
them to 'core-updates', after the new bootstrap binaries have either
been uploaded or manually added to Berlin's store.

What do you think?
