concerning the second paragraph, this will also be the case for going through QA: It will build the package on the bordeaux build farm, the substitutes of which are now activated by default on Guix installations. For the first part, I would still recommend to go with cuirass on berlin, as it has more build power, and apparently picks up the Icecat build much faster. Andreas
