Do foreign distros need to update their guix package as well? If that
is the case, the provided time frame might be optimistic.

I applaud the switch to the regular git program from libgit2, as I
would then be able to pull from my cgit "dumb" server instead of having
to maintain a mirror.

At some point, we can change clients to print a warning saying that
their daemon is outdated if it lacks “builtin:git-download”. That
should help speed things up.

Nothing changes here: ‘git-fetch’ already uses Git.
