maybe i'm overthinking this, and all we need is a way to point to git commit ranges that are compatible. more specifically, i'm maintaining the guix-crypto channel, and i often miss the ability to point to a guix commit, beyond which there is a change in guix that my channel is not yet compatible with. if my users issue a `guix pull`, then it would not pull the guix channel beyond that commit, and warn the users that it's being held back. -- • attila lendvai • PGP: 963F 5D5F 45C7 DFCD 0A39 -- “In the electronics industry, patents are of no value whatsoever in spurring research and development.” — vice-president of Intel Corporation, Business Week, 11 May 1981.
