This sounds like maintaining multiple LTS versions is desired. Anyhow

Thus the discussion about maintaining several versions is only relevant
if this is what Guix wants.
In both cases I need some tooling to fetch the current bug-fix version
of the series in question. This can not be done using "guix refresh"
only AFAIU, as this would use the next release-series if this is already
released while our packages are not yet updated. Thus maintaining two
LTS versions should not be too much work (except if many dependencies
change incompatible).
WDYT?
