whoops, should have been a reference to bug 38926.  Thanks!

Sure, why not (on core-updates)?  There's glib 2.63 released upstream.

Right now, core-updates has glib 2.60.6 still (as has master).

If you try to update glib, be advised that core-updates is broken right now[1].

On the other hand that means that we could update glib on core-updates right
away since core-updates could not built anything using it anyway :P

(The bug upstream is still open, so it will not improve things in that regard)

[1] texlive-bin build error <https://bugs.gnu.org/38999>; texlive is required for glib-with-documentation.
