I do hope that we manage to get a better workflow.  "make builds work"
sounds easier than it turns out in practice: for example, at the current
point of time, GUB-made 64bit MacOSX builds are not feasible since we'd
need to change to some OpenDarwin base to even have a chance.  That will
actually not be significantly different when switching to a Guix-based
build as has been proposed: the native MacOSX SDK licenses just prohibit
execution on a non-Mac computer, regardless of the build environment.

I am cautiously optimistic that we'll be able to get out 2.20.0 soonish
and 2.21.0 afterwards.  I am more fuzzy about what that spells for
building 2.20.1 should that become necessary.
