Yeah, guix style is not perfect. I don't think it gets used as much as
would be needed to iron out some rough spots either.

In this case, as a simple upgrade to a package, I would normally just
run 'guix lint' on it (if that). Unless there is some clearly
unfavorable style, or a commit to update to e.g. gexps, I would just
leave an existing package as is.

So, I would say just a patch with the version upgrade here would be
cleaner. I will finally get mesa-updates building, including this
patch, in the next few days.

Thanks!

John
