I've tried this on bayfront.guix.gnu.org which has 32 cores and I'm veryglad to say it seems to work!
Maybe tweak the capitalisation in the commit message, "New patch", "Addit ...", "Use it", but yeah, I'm all for merging this, with it I'll beable to reconfigure bayfront hopefully. Are you set to tweak the commitmessage and push?
Thanks,
