Blog post on Further reduced bootstrap seed to 25%

[Jan Nieuwenhuizen]

Hello Guix!

I’ve published a post about the second big reduction of the Guix
bootstrap binaries

    https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/guix-further-reduces-bootstrap-seed-to-25/

Thanks to the recent merge of ‘core-updates’ some weeks days ago, the
set of bootstrap binaries now weighs in at approximately 60 MiB; about
25% of what it used to be.

Thanks to Timothy Samplet, Danny Milosavljevic and Ludovic Courtès for
their feedback and help on an earlier version of this post!

Greetings,
Janneke
