I think it would be nice to have a new release, and indeed release more often, I think the way to get there is for less things to be broken between releases, such that releasing takes less effort in terms of testing and fixing things. To give some specific issues, I've run up against the recent issues with nss [1][2] and I don't think we could release with the nss package as is currently. 1: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/70662 2: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/70663 My hope is that we can spot and potentially address issues like the ones above prior to them affecting master, and thus be more ready to release more often. I think the issue you raise above is also an example of this, a breakage that we can hopefully avoid in the future (through getting the data service to just use builtin:download, discussed in #67250). While releases will still require bursts of effort, I think we need a more sustainable approach to actually achieve more frequent releases.
