As mentioned by others, updates to packages with many dependents are very computationally expensive, and so we try to do many of them in batches using the 'core-updates' branch of our Git repository. I agree that we should try to provide the latest version of whatever series we have packaged. The changelog mentions many bug fixes [0]. Can you take a look at the work that's already been done towards 3.5? It starts here, and the discussion continues in March: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-02/msg01265.html If we can successfully update to 3.5, that would be best. Otherwise, we should consider using 3.4.4. [0] https://docs.python.org/3.4/whatsnew/changelog.html
