[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
In my opinion, the recent bug #25775 (Can't install packages after guix
pull) [0] exposed a sort of meta-bug: there are a significant number of
users who were still using the guix-daemon from 0.10.0.

It seems unlikely that they have been updating all of root's
packages except for the guix package. Rather, I bet they never updated
root's packages at all, for ~1 year.

I think this is a serious documentation bug.
