Works for me!

Do we want to merge ‘staging’ before the release, though?

+1!  We’ve accumulated a serious backlog on guix-patches.

I don’t think anything can be done for this release; I believe
resolution of #43591 will have to wait until after the release
(core-updates).

Overall LGTM, but could you clarify what you mean by “freeze” on
Oct. 26–29?  No “important” changes to ‘master’, including to the
manual, is that correct?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
