What's the reason behind branch-specific manifests? I'd imagine we'd
want to test that Guix as a whole still works, even when upgrading just
specific parts.  Otherwise, I guess this shouldn't qualify for a blog
post, maybe the cookbook but I'd even just add this as a comment at the
very top of `build-aux/cuirass/evaluate.scm`, since that's where people
will go looking for it.  If it does end up becoming widespread, perhaps
a section of the manual/cookbook dedicated to how feature branches work
could be a nice home for these bits of info.

Best,
