Thanks!  I think 7 minutes is too long; IMO we should aim for ~1mn–1.5mn
at most as is currently the case.  Also full screen, large enough fonts,
no “guix pull” warnings, ‘--max-jobs=1’ on the daemon side to reduce
verbosity.  Slick and to-the-point!  :-)

Thinking about it, there are probably tools to replay commands in a
terminal such that we could automate all this, no?
