Hello Guix!

This =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99 cycle was terribly long, so I suggest t=
o write down
a schedule and then try hard to stick to it.  ;-)

What about this:

  =E2=80=A2 May 25th, =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99 branch frozen (i.e., r=
ebuild-the-world
    changes are no longer accepted);

  =E2=80=A2 June 15th, =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99 merged in =E2=80=98ma=
ster=E2=80=99 (i.e., most regressions
    compared to =E2=80=98master=E2=80=99 have been fixed).

How does that sound?

If anyone wants to make non-trivial changes in =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=
=99, let=E2=80=99s
make them as early as possible.

I for one would like to finally merge =E2=80=98wip-build-systems-gexp=E2=80=
=99 so I=E2=80=99ll
try to do that.  There=E2=80=99s also support for response files in
=E2=80=98ld-wrapper=E2=80=99, but that is easier (see <https://bugs.gnu.org=
/25882>).

Last but not least: who wants to be the timekeeper?  The position mostly
consists in firmly reminding people of the schedule.  :-)
