Indeed, the mail they dropped over at guix-devel made it seem as though
not being on 2.3.0 was a security risk already. The ChangeLog does
mention some items worth fuzzing over.
That said, I simply wanted to claim a bug ID for this and let people
check whether the update really breaks nothing. The list of dependants
is far too big for me to handle.
Regards,
Leo
