Isn't this already possible?
If moving from Guix version 0.15 to 0.18, one can upgrade step by step
in each version separately:
guix pull --branch=0.16.0
guix pull --branch=0.17.0
guix pull # already pre-latest
This is even possible with Guix versions before the '--branch' option,
using '--url' instead.
As long as Guix can upgrade itself from each version, this should work
for any version upgrade.
