With the number of = packages available using Guix (and it seems to keep
increasing) keeping up on the latest upstream versions manually is
gonna be a pain. :) Shouldn't the checking be automated in some way? One idea might be to create a bug in the GNU Bug Tracker when a new
upstream release is detected.
