If using an LTS version is desired, support for the 3.3 series ended almost three years ago. The 3.4 series is supported until September 2016. I seem to recall a discussion about a separation of roles though where, even though there may be some overlap, the intent of GSRC was to be something people installed on an existing distro and that the intent of Guix was to be completely independent and standalone. Given that, how much effort do we want to put in to maintaining that overlap? Anyway, Debian seems sufficently slow moving to me and so I looked at that to get an idea of what might be acceptable. They have 3.5 in Wheezy and are jumping to 3.16 for Jessie which I understand is due soon? Given that, what about using 3.14? It is much newer and supported until August 2016 [0].
