I see opening the issue as something to do near the middle of the
process. Similar to opening an issue for some patches, so I think now is
a good time.

However, I'd be sceptical of what you see at [1]. I'm guessing what
you're seeing is correct (at least in the sense of Cuirrass), but there
being no more scheduled builds doesn't mean the branch is good to merge.

You can see here [2] that while substitute availability is OK for
x86_64-linux and i686-linux, it's poor for all other systems. Also, I
think this might not actually relate to changes on the branch,
substitute availability for aarch64-linux is poor from ci.guix.gnu.org
on the master branch as well.
