Back on October, Chris proposed this:

    <https://yhetil.org/guix/877drg3lmi.fsf@cbaines.net/>

and it seems similar.  Roughly speaking, let only build core-updates (on
Berlin) when the freeze starts just before the merge.

About the CI, the “production” (= substitutes of master for all the
architectures) and the “testing” (= substitutes of core-updates and
wip-*) should be clearly 2 different things.  Maybe on Berlin and
Bayfront.


All the best,
