Thanks! I've seen it build and looks like good coverage on x86_64 and
i686 at least in raw weather number, though I'm not sure on the QA
branch comparison page it is showing me the correct info. For example,
this shows nothing as broken or still working:
<https://data.qa.guix.gnu.org/compare/package-derivations?base_commit=2b25bc03a11e1c6a473bbb000c35e94233120346&target_commit=7013921be6f9f2de49d5806a93eaee1d95cac1c6&system=x86_64-linux&target=none&build_change=still-working&after_name=&limit_results=40>

Or is that because Bordeaux hasn't built the branch?

So I'm not sure if anything much broke, but at least a good number of
substitutes are built for x86_64/i686.

Sounds good, thanks!
