`guix refresh` always fetches the newest version of packages. This might not be desired in all cases. E.g. one might want to keep some still supported "major" upstream-version and not yet update to the next "major" version.
Ludo suggested to add a property in packages that would instruct updaters to restrict the version search space to a given regexp. Rational: Example: KDE Plasma 5 has 5.12 as long-term-support (LTS) version, while 5.14 has already being released. Do easy maintenance of dependent packages, sticking to 5.12.x micht be desired.
