I see that you also reverted the patch that removed the ‘EINTR-safe’ workaround. Could you explain why that was necessary? (It should not be necessary with current Guile versions.)
I'm not really sure of the details, but as I mentioned on IRC, that commit stopped me from being able to boot. I grafted a new version of the Shepherd and reconfigured my system, and when it came up my screen was filled with messages complaining that it couldn't create things in /dev because they already existed. I tested the commits since the previous release and that was the one that caused my problem.
I'd like to investigate further, but I have no idea what could be causing it. All I have to go on so far is that I think the udev service is getting respawned repeatedly, but I don't know why that commit would cause that problem. After reverting that commit I could successfully boot back into my system and everything is working properly again.
