Well, more is better here, no? :-)

Well, the process for API change could be:
1. + submit to guix-patches,
+ in the same time, announce to guix-devel; so people not subscribed to
guix-patches can chime.
2. + after 2 weeks, or consensus, merge the change,
+ in the same time, announce to guix-devel, info-guix and --news.
There is no extra burden and it smooths the change for many users, IMHO.
WDYT?
Cheers,
simon
