After applying the 'giflib' and 'curl' updates to the 'dbus-update' branch (and also merging master), the number of queued jobs on that jobset went from about 1000 to over 2200. Based on this, and also based on my past memories of curl security updates, I suspect that this is another case where "guix refresh -l" drastically underestimated the number of rebuilds. Mark
