The manual should warn about the fact that it does not yield built-from-source packages and perhaps give pointers on how to address that, but it can still be useful, and probably even more useful if it=E2=80=99s in Guix proper.

I think the key is to avoid bitrot: I suggest working to make sure you can have that branch merged within, say, one or two months at most, even if that means regularly pinging people. :-) Thanks!
