That sounds good. I think we should try doing some more specific
"updates" branches in between releases, assuming we have the compute
power and the motivation.

And we could also have some periodic ungrafting rebuilds when necessary
and feasible.

So, we would graft guile-2.0, make guile-2.0/fixed use 2.0.12, and set
replacement #f in guile-next? Anything else?
