Hi,

Currently the updaters are run in the order of their alphabetical
names.  For example, with the following instrumentation to see the
updater names tried in guix/upstream.scm:

It seems to me the generic updaters, being generic thus less
likely to be precise/correct, should be tried last by 'guix refresh'.

This is ensured with the following patch:

Now, the 'gnome-updater' at least ends up being tried before the
'generic-html':

I'll send a 'git format-patch' version in a follow-up.
