So, what’s up with this release?

This is mostly done. Should be provide an additional config for GNOME
in gnu/system/examples?
Besides, there’s the GNOME-Shell bug at <http://bugs.gnu.org/22666> that
would be nice to address.
Also, NetworkManager apparently doesn’t work. Could someone
investigate?

Done.

Presumably fixed.

Oops, I dropped the ball. Maybe that’ll have to wait again.

Done or almost.
I realized that before the release, it would be nice to have
infrastructure in place that would allow us to have a mirror of
hydra.gnu.org (if there’s a download peak after the release, I’m afraid
hydra.gnu.org wouldn’t be able to keep up.) One idea is to hack ‘guix
publish’ to make it easy to set up a mirror. We’ll see.
