Or maybe not. With your recent change, guix says it's 85 days old ...

g1@g1 ~/src/guix$ guix package -i icecat
guix package: warning: Your Guix installation is 85 days old.
guix package: warning: Consider running 'guix pull' followed by
'guix package -u' to get up-to-date packages and security updates.
[...]

But I just did a git pull ...

g1@g1 ~/src/guix$ git -C ~/.config/guix/latest describe
v0.12.0-3681-gbc0e6c931

... and my ~/.config/guix/latest points to it ...

g1@g1 ~/src/guix$ stat ~/.config/guix/latest | grep File:
  File: /home/g1/.config/guix/latest -> /home/g1/src/guix/

... and I did 'make' and 'git system reconfigure' & reboot so that guix
claims it is the latest version ...

g1@g1 ~$ guix --version guix
(GNU Guix) 0.12.0.3681-bc0e6

So...  is some part of my guix 85 days old?

Or... there a problem with the new "days old" message?
