There’s always a risk of course, though I think it’s pretty low in this
case (I built everything up to guile{,2.2}-gnutls, which includes like
8h spent in ‘nss’ tests).  Removing the dependency of GnuTLS on Guile is
the most desirable part; the rest is more cosmetic.

We can delay that until after ‘core-updates’ too, but that might take a
while since <https://ci.guix.gnu.org/eval/228947/dashboard> stills shows
quite a bit of red.  :-)

Thoughts?  Tough choices!

Ludo’.
