I think the first thing to spot is that the Guix Data Service does a
poor job of showing what happened. If you look at the 3 outputs that
start or end in July (07), the pattern isn't a neat "one after the
other".
What I think actually happens is that:
- 2020-06-13 21:04:16: hash begins lw2
- 2020-07-21 21:57:03: hash begins s7s
- after 2020-07-21 21:57:03: hash goes back to beginning lw2
- 2020-07-24 12:22:11: hash begins j5l
I think one of the implicit assumptions the query for that page makes,
is that the outputs don't really repeat, and in this case, that doesn't
hold. I think there's room for improvement to try and correct that.
Sorry about that,
Chris
