No, my proposed patch is bad. Users would still be guided to use the CI
image, just with an extra step, in which case we’d better link to CI
directly. Same thing if the sentence “You can also use the continuously
improved installer image” were part of the page header.
Preferrably replace the standard installer, in case important fixes,
debug features or so get added to the installer. For example by
branching off v1.4.0 (or whatever is the latest version), cherry picking
the installer fixes, and merging that installer branch back into master
so that one can reconfigure from it (see
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59780#6>).
I would like to close.
Regards,
Florian

But I still think that we implicitly know because we are around is not explicit and can be confusing. The implicit knowledge is: - released installer/images/etc are the standard, but… - latest installer/images/etc. have probably less bugs. I miss why write an sentence in this webpage <https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/> mentioning this webpage <https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/latest/> would be detrimental. Note that from the front page <https://guix.gnu.org/>, top right, Download mentions Latest. From this latest webpage, there is a link to the Standard webpage. Why would the converse be an issue? Well, I think we have enough discussed. :-) I mean, if you prefer to close and keep the status quo, all is fine with me. :-) Cheers, simon

Latest sometimes has relevant bugs like mkfs.ext4 missing; it cannot be the solution. When standard installer images have more bugs than latest, there should be a new standard image. Closing.
