Correct, the quick and "dirty" workaround is **to stop using the SKS
network** and warn Guix users to **manually download** certificates

This means we should quckly patch Guix manual: I've no time to propose a
patch today, I'll work on this tomorrow

We also nees to address this for **all** guix contributors: we require a
GPG signed commit, so each and every contributor/developer should
understand the risks of using SKS network and apply current proposed
workarounds: can we state this in maintenance.git/HACKING?

We sould act qulckly, IMHO

Thanks! Gio'
