Looking at 'latest-channel-instances', the code for deciding what the
latest version is, is the same for the guix channel and any other
channel. As such, the 'Guix is unavailable' is, currently, not special.
I suppose we could special-case it in latest-channel-instances to raise
an error when Guix is unavailable, but I don't see why -- sometimes
Savannah is down, would be nice to then at least be able to update
the other channels.
Greetings,
Maxime.
