Hi!

Guix is *potentially* even more up-to-date than NixOS thanks to
‘--with-latest’ and ‘--with-branch’! \o/
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Package-Transformation-Options.html
Seriously though, we could take better advantage of the tooling that we
have: ‘guix refresh’, ‘guix graph’, and the corresponding APIs. With
that, we can write code that automatically tries out package updates and
prepares patches, for instance. We could even largely automate “update
trains” (what we’re doing with master/staging/core-updates).
Ideas for a motivated hacker!
