Greg,

Sorry for the duplicate work!  How were you to've known this, you 
ask?

  $ guix refresh --list-dependent PACKAGE

or ‘-l’ for short will list the number of rebuilds that a hash 
change in PACKAGE would trigger.

If it's higher than 300, the patch belongs on the ‘staging’ or 
‘core-updates’ branches instead of ‘master’.  The exact numbers 
are in the ‘Submitting Patches’ section of the Guix manual.

In practice, it's not always clear-cut.  A patch that rebuilds 
fewer than 300 packages but includes IceCat, Ungoogled Chromium, 
and LibreOffice probably belongs on ‘staging’ regardless.  A patch 
that rebuilds 350 (fast-building) Perl packages might be OK for 
master.

It's good practice to include the branch name (e.g., ‘[PATCH 
core-updates]’) when submitting patches not suitable for master.

Kind regards,

T G-R
