Hey!

Almost a year ago, the branching strategy was changed [1][2].

1: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63459
2: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2023-06/msg00024.html

I think these changes have gone OK, we've had ~27 [3] branches merged in
this manor and I think looking back these changes have been
helpful. Coordination and visibility has improved, and we've been able
to build and test more prior to merging.

There's still room for more improvement though. The current guidance is
here [4], and I've sent a patch for improvements here [5].

Let me know if you have any thoughts or questions!

Thanks,

Chris
