is the current core-updates branch ready for building and merging?
I am looking at an issue:
   https://issues.guix.gnu.org/68606
that adds a patch (updating patchelf) that, as far as I understand, is
already available on core-updates. So I feel somewhat blocked for the
issue.

The last merge was in spring of 2023, I think, and my patch updating wget
is lingering in the branch since last July. So I am afraid we are reenacting
the problems we had with the historic core-updates branch. It would be nice
to merge and to move the branch to its new purpose.

Also,
   https://issues.guix.gnu.org/65200
from last August is blocked by a core-updates merge (it should probably go
to the new-style core-updates branch, and would be the starting point of
working on bootstrapping from a newer GMP).

Andreas
