The binaries of all the packages for x86_64-linux only take 350–400 GiB.

There’s been frequent breakage over the past couple of months.  That’s
why I think having continuous integration for pull requests is top
priority for the project.

A distro that breaks this often is barely viable; if even we, people who
follow it pretty closely, have a hard time coping with it, imagine what
it’s like to someone who’s not contributing to Guix and/or following it
from a distance.

Thanks,
