At this point, getting a 1.5.1 would be nice, but it might also be worth aiming for some git snapshots as 1.6.0 is targeted for december, if there is any chance of getting Guix back into Debian Testing (and eventually Debian Stable?)... while keeping in mind for post 1.6.0 what would be needed to make 1.6.1 possible (at least from the perspective of keeping Guix in Debian, although I think it would also make snse for Guix's own upstream releases). Or we can work on 1.5.x in unstable, and 1.6.x snapshots in experimental for the time being... I think the problem I had getting 1.5.0 ready was maybe issues with apparmor profiles blocking guix-daemon from starting... live well, vagrant
