As mentioned by others, updates to packages with many dependents are
very computationally expensive, and so we try to do many of them in
batches using the 'core-updates' branch of our Git repository.

I agree that we should try to provide the latest version of whatever
series we have packaged. The changelog mentions many bug fixes [0].

Can you take a look at the work that's already been done towards 3.5?
It starts here, and the discussion continues in March:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-02/msg01265.html

If we can successfully update to 3.5, that would be best. Otherwise, we
should consider using 3.4.4.
