Well, more is better here, no? :-)

Well, the process for API change could be:

 1. + submit to guix-patches,
    + in the same time, announce to guix-devel; so people not subscribed to
      guix-patches can chime.
 2. + after 2 weeks, or consensus, merge the change,
    + in the same time, announce to guix-devel, info-guix and --news.

There is no extra burden and it smooths the change for many users, IMHO.

WDYT?

Cheers,
simon
