Hi Ludo, and everyone still listening,

thanks for merging it and your help on this! I plan to submit a news
entry patch tomorrow.

I don't have the time for a blog post unfortunatly. Too busy with other
things at the moment, sorry. :/ Maybe another time.

Another feedback I wanted to mention. We should really aim to improve on
substitute availability and stability of Guix if we want people to rely
on Guix and `guix deploy`. I think this was also mentioned in the
survey.

While working on this the user experience of guix deploy really
shined/falled, depending on substitute availability and stability. I'm
probably biased and having bad luck with aarch-64 based Guix systems.

For example, using the ARM based servers (which are cheaper than x86)
with Guix on Hetzner can lead to a headache if you or the the servers
you deploy to start building Rust and friends. :/

I think we get there, thanks again, and happy hacking!

Roman
