Indeed, the mail they dropped over at guix-devel made it seem as though
not being on 2.3.0 was a security risk already.  The ChangeLog does
mention some items worth fuzzing over.

That said, I simply wanted to claim a bug ID for this and let people
check whether the update really breaks nothing.  The list of dependants
is far too big for me to handle.

Regards,
Leo
