Discussion was part of #76960: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/76960#24

And I think I understand Maxim's point of view and am in agreement at
some level. My chief remark is that I don't see the project following
this practice, and that it is largely impractical to do so. But
perhaps we should do more of this where we can. Or instead simply do
(on the order of) quarterly releases.

I have seen, and have been writing, single commits which apply the
same very simple changes to multiple packages (for example, from
#76960 the pinning of the spdlog input).
