Hi,

For what it is worth, I think it is better to keep the front page with
only 2 buttons: =E2=80=9CDownload v1.x=E2=80=9C and =E2=80=9CContribute=E2=
=80=9D.

For discoverability, what I propose instead is to redirect the users
from,

    https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/

If the user does not read the header or is not interested in, they can
process with the current released images.  Otherwise, as I propose, a
mention to the latest development, and hop to the other page,

    https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/latest/


> But then, shouldn=E2=80=99t we tell users there are bugs in the standard =
image and

By mentioning in the header of:

    https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/

For example, it reads,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
As of version 1.3.0, the standalone Guix System can be installed on an
i686, x86_64, ARMv7, or AArch64 machine. It uses the Linux-Libre kernel
and the GNU Shepherd init system. Alternately, GNU Guix can be installed
as an additional package manager on top of an installed Linux-based
system.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Therefore, we can add here one sentence or two for mentioning 1. the
latest download webpage and 2. the potential issue.

As every program, bugs are around. ;-)  I mean, I do not see why we
should wait.

It is a proposal. :-) I do not know if it is the correct wording.  The
idea is to explain that the installer is continuously improved.  The
model is not stable (release) vs unstable (development) but instead
frozen (release) vs latest.  And mention (point) this latest webpage.

I think this proposal about mentioning the latest download webpage from
the current release webpage improves about discoverability.  And it
keeps the usual entry point with the current release =E2=80=93 for sure, it=
 is
well-tested and it should be the recommended way for installing.

Cheers,
simon
