AFAIU this is basically how container image upgrading in Guix is for now, barring OCI images packaged by Guile/Guix itself. It seems non-declarative and non-ideal for Guix though, so I wonder if there could theoretically (i.e., sometime in the future if someone cares enough and has the time and expertise) be a more Guix-y solution. Something that can update non-Guix images while retaining Guix's goal of reproducibility.
I'm not sure I completely understand your point, so it depends on what your expectations are but I agree this can be improved. The way I use OCI services is to never track the latest tag, only and always to track known versions. This way each upgrade is predictable. What would you expect from a Guix-y upgrade mechanism?
