I was fine with that, because the important thing (to me) is that the guix package emacs-next could provides a package definition that I could use (with shell -D) to build any commit in the 30 branch. I'm not sure, off-hand, how 30.0.50 was picked exactly. So, for me at least, the important thing is that emacs-next is taken from the branch for the next release. And if it gets adjusted at the time the pre-tests are release, that is also nice. -- Christopher Howard
