To be clear, I’m referring to this:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/guix/channels.scm?id=9f5f3932debc72a57a830fc6ca5ab980f6db4941#n406

Exactly. I agree that #2 is problematic, but if the authors of
guix-bimsb are aware that guix-past can also be authenticated, then I
think it’s their responsibility to update their ‘.guix-channel’
dependencies accordingly.
