I went ahead and pushed these:

  11235dd85a refresh: Honor user-provided target version and report downgrades.
  a330bfdf5b upstream: Allow downgrades.

Thanks,

Hi Hartmut,

I figured changes from <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/57460> were not
applicable in some cases because of things that guard against
downgrade.

The following patches fix the use case where the user is explicitly
asking for a downgrade, as in:

  guix refresh guile <at> 3.0=2.2.7
  guix refresh -u guile=3.0.0

Previously these wouldn’t do anything.

WDYT?

Ludo’.

Ludovic Courtès (2):
  refresh: Honor user-provided target version and report downgrades.
  upstream: Allow downgrades.
