Yeah, I think a lot of things will break.

Something to consider is that not every reference has an effect on the
built software. Sometimes the reference is a nonfunctional string that
ends up in documentation, or for error messages, or many other places.
It may be a lot of work to remove them all.

I'd rather we do it somewhere else than core-updates.

It's already very difficult to complete the core-updates cycles. We
should limit core-updates to updates of core packages, and handle big
changes to Guix itself on their own branches.
