Yay!

Is there a recommendation how to prepare container images for the
release?

A) Build them for the git commit tag v1.5.0.  Then the 'guix' tool
inside the generated container will be older than v1.5.0.

B) Build them for the commit that updates the guix packaging definition
to use the v1.5.0 commit in master.  Will you make such a commit shortly
after tagging v1.5.0?

The obvious choice is A) but I don't like that this leads to an old
'guix' tool inside the container.  Chosing B) assumes that you will
create and push such a commit relatively shortly after tagging v1.5.0,
otherwise the distance between the v1.5.0 tag and the update of the guix
package will be too far and may include other irrelevant commits.

The best from my perspective would be if the commit after the v1.5.0 tag
was a commit to update the guix package definition to the v1.5.0 commit.
Then I would pick the latter commit, so that the guix tool is v1.5.0.

I plan to create tagged v1.5.0 container images for pure Guix, Guix on
Debian and Ubuntu/Trisquel with Guix.
