It was just discussed there.  We were saying that reproducibility and
‘guix challenge’ & co. are useful only if people actually run CI
services, and can thus compare their results with one another.  We have
‘guix publish’, which is rather easy to run, but Cuirass is quite
complex to set up.

If, instead, you could run a simple command like the one above, it’d be
much easier for each one of us to build stuff and publish results.

Actually I like it too :-), but it makes sense to think about how we can
better integrate all the tools and options that test reproducibility.

Thanks,
