while we are at it, these messages never made sense to me:

substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org'... 50.0%

i still don't really know what's happening there, but maybe something like 
"fetching the registry" or "fetching metadata" would be more descriptive of it?

to me "the substitutes" means the binary artifacts.
