Actually very much related because a git pull attached to a git tree
can be tied with a remote repo - allowing for elegant API transitions.

guix channel add genenetwork git://git.sv.gnu.org/guix.git master HASHTAG
guix channel pull genenetwork
guix channel set genenetwork

Do the Ricardo stuff...

Pretty much solves the API problem.
