Hi,

> a less frequent drop in substitute availability on master would considerably elevate my satisfaction with guix as a user. and in my reading that is the cost that Christopher talks about here.

I was also unhappy enough to pull after the change was made, but
substitutes were not available yet. This is pretty bad if you don’t have
the local compute power (laptop) to build the entire Java bootstrap
chain. Or just imagine needing Haskell… I just ended up using `guix
pull --roll-back`, because that revision was unusable for me.

Woudn’t it make sense to create a “feature branch” for mass rebuilds
like this one (even if it’s just one package), get the substitutes
ready and then merge to master?

Cheers,
Lars
