Hi,

The scope of ‘core-packages’ is defined in teams.scm.

Regarding #2, what do we mean by “world rebuild”?  30K? 20K? 10K?
I think the phrase is colloquially understood as “a lot of rebuilds”,
usually meaning more than 5K per architecture.  With this magnitude,
world rebuilds are now commonplace.

The way to deal with such changes is documented and working relatively
well though (info "(guix) Managing Patches and Branches").  The key
insight from experience over the past years is that we must avoid scope
creep and instead have focused branches.
