Hi Sebastian,

I have updated expat on our "core-updates" branch, since it entails a
full rebuild:

  
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?h=core-updates&id=831c6d84e1bcff4b68dfd0f6e299f2c0bb60d0b8

I notice 2.3.0 does not have any ABI changes from 2.2.9.  In that case
the security fix/version can be "grafted" in place without rebuilding
the world.  So count us ready, we'll test 2.3.0 meanwhile.  :-)

Thanks for the heads-up,
Marius
