Arf, probably yes, in a =E2=80=98libjpeg-update=E2=80=99 branch, rather.

What about having a policy for that?  Like, above some threshold of the
number of rebuilds reported by =E2=80=98guix refresh -l=E2=80=99 (200 packa=
ges?), set up
a separate branch and Hydra job set.

In an ideal world a patch queue manager would automatically take care of
that.
