I'd like to add one more item to the list:

  * Clean /var/run and /tmp at boot time.

Also, it would be nice to fix <http://bugs.gnu.org/20102> before the
0.8.2 release, since it renders Guix essentially unusable on armhf.

Is anyone willing to help with this?  As it is, I seem to be the only
person working on either MIPS or ARM.
