As you want.  But I still think that we implicitly know because we are
around is not explicit and can be confusing.  The implicit knowledge is:

 - released installer/images/etc are the standard, but…
 - latest installer/images/etc. have probably less bugs.

I miss why write an sentence in this webpage
<https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/> mentioning this webpage
<https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/latest/> would be detrimental.

Note that from the front page <https://guix.gnu.org/>, top right,
Download mentions Latest.  From this latest webpage, there is a link to
the Standard webpage.  Why would the converse be an issue?

Well, I think we have enough discussed. :-)  I mean, if you prefer to
close and keep the status quo, all is fine with me. :-)


Cheers,
simon
