If the stumpwm people put lots of components in a single
'stumpwm-contrib', I expect that they take care of making sure all the
components _within a single version_ remain compatible, and that by
picking a separate commit for each component in Guix, it is likely to
encounter incompatibilities (breaking changes).
In the hopefully rare case where we encounter an incompatibility, we can
still choose to override the checkout for the impacted package.
As such, I recommend keeping the status quo.
Greetings,
Maxime
