Hello Guix!

Since I=E2=80=99m about to leave keyboard for a couple of weeks, here=E2=80=
=99s a to-do
list for those of you who=E2=80=99ll be around.  :-)

The last things I wanted to push for =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99 were a =
reproducible
Guile (done in b5efd14a9add1bcb4a44fa5b9c1b47706f3df9da), and a subset
or all of the aarch64 patches, depending on their status (should not be
a blocker IMO).

So, here=E2=80=99s a plan:

  =E2=80=A2 Once Efraim has pushed some of the aarch64 patches, do another
    evaluation of the =E2=80=9Ccore=E2=80=9D package set for that branch, a=
nd check for
    anything wrong.  From there on, forbid full-rebuild changes.

  =E2=80=A2 Once the =E2=80=9Ccore=E2=80=9D subset builds correctly on all =
the supported
    platforms (those that Hydra supports), merge =E2=80=98master=E2=80=99. =
 Maybe update
    a couple of things like GnuTLS while we=E2=80=99re at it.  From there on
    forbid non-trivial changes.

  =E2=80=A2 Build all the packages.  (To do that, someone with access to Hy=
dra
    must change the =E2=80=9Csubset=E2=80=9D argument to =E2=80=9Call=E2=80=
=9D in the config of the
    =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99 jobset.)

  =E2=80=A2 Fix things.

  =E2=80=A2 Once most regressions have been addressed and most binaries are
    available, merge =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99 into =E2=80=98master=E2=
=80=99.

How does that sound?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
