Yes, definitely. More generally, we could try to have a =E2=80=9Cstaging=E2=80=9D branch for= safe changes that involve a rebuild of between ~300 and ~1200 packages, that we=E2=80=99d merge more frequently than =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99 (I think the Nix = folks do that). By =E2=80=9Csafe=E2=80=9D I mean things like ungrafting, minor upgr= ades and improvements; the goal would be to reduce the latency for such changes. Things that rebuild more than ~1200 packages would still go to =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99. WDYT? > So, we would graft guile-2.0, make guile-2.0/fixed use 2.0.12, and set > replacement #f in guile-next? Anything else? Yes, and a couple of related changes. Pushed as c62a31ca802c2b225279c4b0360a4cfc2723ad28. Thanks! Ludo=E2=80=99.
