I would maybe not add them to ‘etc/release-manifest.scm’ because that
goes beyond the original goal of that manifest, which is to ensure that
essential substitutes are available (see “make
assert-binaries-available”).

Now, maybe we’ve reached the point where we can get ci.guix to build all
of ‘core-updates’?

Yes, it looks like we can safely uncomment icecat in ‘%system-packages’.

Thanks,
