In my opinion, the recent bug #25775 (Can't install packages after guix pull) [0] exposed a sort of meta-bug: there are a significant number of users who were still using the guix-daemon from 0.10.0.
It seems unlikely that they have been updating all of root's packages except for the guix package. Rather, I bet they never updated root's packages at all, for ~1 year. I think this is a serious documentation bug. [0] https://bugs.gnu.org/25775
