While retrying and potentially falling back to local builds would be
nice improvements to user experience, I seriously hope your mission-
critical software does not assume reliability of anything network-
related. As a matter of fact, Guix already provides the only guarantee
any system can have under this circumstance: that your device won't be
bricked when failing to download something from the internet.
Cheers
