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.
One problem may be that Guix on top of foreign distribution is not able to update itself. I still offer guix-0.12 RPM package for openSUSE installation as there was no new release. Guix is able to update itself via `guix pull' but it doesn't affect system installation of guix-daemon. It would help splitting releases of Guix and guix-daemon. Best regards, S_W
