You may want to mention that the versioning scheme for TeX Live has
changed and, unless I'm mistaken, users will need to force upgrade for
these packages. Indeed, I doubt "guix pull && guix upgrade" will update
willingly, e.g., `texlive-context' from version "66594" (old scheme) to
"2024.2" (new scheme). I didn't check, tho.

Also, the news entry might mention that compiling documents with modular
TeX Live is no longer slower than expected.
