Hi, hope Guix maintainers can clarify the role of the now core-updates
branch; the current documentation does not specify the core-updates
branch as a thing but there are clearly interests and uses of this
branch for package updates not belonging to a feature branch like
gnome and it is useful for, say, updating to the GNU make package
which would have caused world rebuild.  Thanks
