i wrote about a missing abstraction here:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2023-12/msg00104.html

which is more or less related to this.

the git commit log is a too fine-grained granularity here. there should be 
something like a 'guix log' above the git log that could be used, among other 
things, to encode inter-channel dependencies.

maybe frequent semver releases for guix channels could work as reference points 
to be used to formally encode inter-channel dependencies? (and to guide the 
substitute chaching/building; mark "safe points" for the time-machine; etc)
