grunewald has been back to work for a week, so we’re making progress!

There was a regression in Cuirass that, when a worker is found
unresponsive, would cause all the builds performed on that workers to be
rescheduled (instead of just those that were running on the worker at
that time!).  It took me a while to notice it, but that certainly slowed
things down as workers would end up rebuilding the same things again
occasionally (not actually rebuilding when substitutes from a previous
build were available, but still).

The Arm workers have been busy, which has improved substitute
availability for aarch64-linux and armhf-linux, but there’s still a lot
of progress to be made:

  https://qa.guix.gnu.org/branch/core-updates

So far they’ve been mostly processing relatively old ‘master’ builds and
recent ‘gnome-team’ builds; I hope they can start working on
‘core-updates’ now.
