Merging ‘staging’?

I set up a jobset and we’re doing okay compared to ‘master’:

  https://ci.guix.gnu.org/jobset/staging-tests

The main regression is the timescaledb test, because timescaledb fails
its tests on that branch (help welcome!).

Then there’s what looks like a transient failure of the installation
test, which is more worrisome but not a regression I believe:

>   - [ ] status on non-x86_64 architectures

‘guix weather -s i686-linux’ says 89% (which is underestimated, because
it wrongfully checks for all the packages, including unsupported
packages), which sounds good.

We have to check for AArch64 & co.  Any takers?

Overall it seems to me we should be able to merge ‘staging’ within a
couple of days.  Thoughts?
