Thanks for working on those leads!

In my reply to your message regarding Haskell, I CC-ed Mathieu Othacehe,
who is relatively active developing Cuirass and assists with operations
on ci.guix.gnu.org.  Let's see if he replies.

I do see that on ci.guix.gnu.org, we are running Cuirass
1.1.0-13.1341725, which should respect the max-silent-time property.
According to NEWS, this was added in Cuirass 1.0.0.

One might consider trying to debug a local installation of Cuirass, to
see if it actually respects this property. Imagine a test package that
sleeps for 10 seconds in a build phase but has a max-silent-time of 5.

In the meantime, I would check that gocryptfs is working satisfactorily
based on the branch.

I was surprised that Cuirass tried to build GHC and all these R packages
as a result of these patches. Do you know if these packages (e.g. GHC)
depend on Go somehow?
