I think this is probably a good idea, though the implementation=20
might be difficult to manage.  I=E2=80=99m not sure where the patches=20
would go if not some short-lived branch, so we=E2=80=99d still likely have=
=20
the space complexity.  A one-month timebox for large changes,=20
where they merge or get backed out at the end, seems like it could=20
be a reasonable way to break down some of the long-running=20
branches.

One thing we should be considerate of is users with limited=20
bandwidth.  Even if Guix has the compute to build and bandwidth to=20
serve, not all of its users will.

Thanks,
