Yeah, I think a lot of things will break. Something to consider is that not every reference has an effect on the built software. Sometimes the reference is a nonfunctional string that ends up in documentation, or for error messages, or many other places. It may be a lot of work to remove them all. I'd rather we do it somewhere else than core-updates. It's already very difficult to complete the core-updates cycles. We should limit core-updates to updates of core packages, and handle big changes to Guix itself on their own branches.
