In a sense, more stable than any other system I've ever run. We also are quickly moving to the point where *most* core packages people need are there. I think the Alpha label is too conservative. Once gnome-shell lands, or once the next release comes out, what do people think about Beta? That still sounds like "not quite production ready for everyone" but Alpha hardly feels fair to Guix anymore. (The most alpha thing about GuixSD thing at this point is the install process, and hey, it's like going oldschool with my install again.... :)) Or, when to switch? - Chris
