This is now fixed:
https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/latest/
For the record, the problem was that we’d be removing GC roots too
early, which was fixed here:

Yes, I remember seeing some discussion about this.
But I tried to have a new look at :
But with another browser, another computer, reloading the page in firefox,
or even forced reloading (CTRL+F5) I'm still not seeing the x86_64 qcow2.
Is there some propagation delay, or something on my side that is wrong ?

Since this process is automated, there cannot be a signature to verify
the authenticity of those binaries (integrity is most likely verified
indirectly via embedded checksums in the container formats).
That's why I spoke about checksum and not signatures, I'm not talking
about authenticity, but just about DL checking.
I don't really know if qcow has integrated checksums, but I doubt raw
image does. So I think this could still have some usefulness.
