I think there is disagreement about this (including at least some maintainers thinking differently), but I'm of the opinion that while there has been discussion about stopping using core-updates, people should follow the currently documented process, and for now that's still using staging/core-updates [1]. 1: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html#index-rebuild-scheduling-strategy As for reverting it, I'm somewhat indifferent. I'm more interested in the longer term cost of making changes like this than the temporary drops in substitute availability.
