In this mentioned issue, it reads:
I will send a patch to Guix in the hope of getting more people
to try 11ccee3 and ece8b17 before the 8.4 release.

So my naive question is: is it worth to include now and not just wait
for the next Racket 8.4 release? (One or two months if Racket keep the 4
releases per year schedule)
Other said, for testing new Racket features in the Guix ecosystem, it
appears to me easier to use transformation:
guix build racket-minimal --with-commit=ece8b17
(or something along this line :-))
BTW, thanks for bridging the gap between Guix and Racket and it can be
cool if Guix can help Racket. :-)
Cheers,
