I remember we hesitated gratuitously updating the %bootstrap-guile seed (to 2.2) and decided to try to "make it work without updating the guile seed". I am not 100% sure, we'd have to look up the IRC discussions. > What’s surprising is that > <https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/bootstrap/i686-linux/20190815> does use > 2.2. Oh, that's weird. Well, we used gule-2.2 until almost the very last moment, I remember. I am cc'ing Timothy, as he helped make the guile-2.0 bootstrap possible (gash compatibility and such).
