Reopen.  Dust hasn’t set yet on the issue.

Sorry I have read but not responded directly.  In my view, the word
nightly would be less understandable than latest, for better or worse.
But recommending CI images still collides a good user experience.

CI images are for developers and testers.  The standard installer did
not get bug fixes in the 1.3.0 period, but it can and should.  It is
possible to put up a new installer without a new Guix release.

Regards,
Florian
