I’d like to congratulate ourselves and call it a success!  A dedicated
group worked all day long anywhere-on-earth and pushed 79 commits fixing
a variety of things—thumbs up!

We’re almost done but we have yet to get past the finish line.

Please give it a spin either by testing your system:

  sudo guix time-machine --branch=core-updates-frozen -- \
    system reconfigure /…/config.scm

or by upgrading your profile:

  guix time-machine --branch=core-updates-frozen -- upgrade

Expect rebuilds as things in the GNOME/Freedesktop stack are still
receiving fixes, or wait until ci.guix has caught up.

The issue Ricardo mentioned about ‘python-jupyter’ has yet to be fixed
too, and there’s probably more.

If you email bug-guix or guix-patches with “core-updates-frozen” in the
subject and a clear description of what the problem/fix is, your
friendly committer collective will be sure to fast-track your patch
(right? :-)).

Sounds doable, let’s keep up the good work!
