Hello Maxim,
[ Not sure which mailing list to copy on this email, so I’m adding
guix-devel. I hope you don’t mind. ]

This is an important change in the polkit dependencies, because mozjs-78
depends on Rust which only builds on x86_64. The practical consequence
is that polkit and all its dependents become x86_64-only packages. I’m
not saying it’s wrong, but it’s a big change and I thought it would be
useful to mention it.
I just discovered it today when playing a bit with the
core-updates-frozen-batched-changes branch on ppc64le.
