Hey,

Thanks for noticing that data.guix.gnu.org was down. I've had a look,
and the machine that runs it ran out of disk space.

I'm not quite sure why it ran out of disk space, I suspect it was maybe
excessive PostgreSQL logs... anyway, I'll get things going again and
keep an eye on it.

Once data.guix.gnu.org has caught up it will be easier to see what the
impact of this change is. I don't have any reason to think it was wrong
to make these changes.

Thanks,

Chris
