I'm really excited about the future of GuixSD, but a string of breakages over the last few months is wearing me down. ;(

Yeah. Better integration testing to make sure everything, or a decent subset, remains buildable before merging would be nice. Rust verifies their entire package repo on every language update. Travis offers free testing for free-software projects.
Also, a better upgrade path when incompatible changes are done to the package tree and the guix framework would be nice.

Yeah, it's possible usually to recover more easily where it wouldn't be in other places (though Guile 2.2 moveover was an exception) but it shouldn't be necessary in general.
