Does it make sense to publish "official" Guix OpenShift images?  Or are
they always custom-made for a particular environment?  With normal
container images, it is common publish standard images that are re-used
by others, but I'm not familiar with OpenShift to know how things work.

Maybe there is sufficient interest to work on these matters in a "Guix
Containers Team"?  Or maybe it belongs in the Release Team.
