Or alternatively, release more often :-)

I wonder whether we should not make a point release after each security
update instead of encouraging people to use "guix pull" (but we would
quickly arrive at 0.9.9 now, after which only 1.0.0 would be a reasonable
option to keep numerical and lexicographical ordering consistent).
Or a point-point release as 0.9.0.1 and so on.
