Good to know. So basically this isn't a good idea without a guix
channel that offers the versions of emacs that we need. I'm just
going to stick with improving our current setup.
Improving the current setup would be awesome!
That being said, there is no problem with using my guix file for
things that do have substitutes. So you should still be able to
do testing with emacs and emacs-next.
Even without testing backwards compatibility, the file does
include some interesting tests. Like testing with different
locales, different timezones, and even with the system clock set
to different times (using libfaketime).
