Ok, I see.

Has anybody tested that guix pull from 0.15 -> 0.16 works on an install
ISO? (I don't know if we want/agreed to support this at all but 1 bug
suggests problems related to https: )

I say go for release and note it on the download page and provide
0.15-i686 image for now.

I'm using i686 GuixSD on my devlaptop.
