Fair point, but results on hydra seem to be quite unreliable. So I though this is okay, since Ludo asked me to merge ASAP. maybe I misunderstood the exact meaning. And have been too impatient.

Already there are several hundred new failures... I'm not sure what the
"root" failures are so far.

Some errors I checked are like this one:

@ build-succeeded /gnu/store/nzjcl8aviiz4643n13nn5vxfn540x1xb-xorg-server-1.18.4.drv -
guix build: error: failed to create GC root `/home/hydra/offload-20121227-hydra.gnu.org-8762': File exists
/gnu/store/j2pj0lhwwd430y5vfc6whrr5p4fc2b5m-xorg-server-1.18.4

Or even like this one <https://hydra.gnu.org/build/1645638/nixlog/1/tail-reload>, which fail with no visible error:

@ build-succeeded /gnu/store/i4dl6i1rz6pvcqhh5g70vqhbpa0nkswj-swig-3.0.5.drv -
/gnu/store/89rx3gby3b8f732alz3yrm0s78s0nnb8-swig-3.0.5

So hydra seems to have some problem, which makes it really hard to track down issues.
