I personally use ‘guix refresh -l’ as the metric to decide whether to
create a branch or not.  I think it’s a good one though the ideal one
would be makespan.  Another consideration is the current build farm
load.

The “Commit Access” section mentions “upgrades that trigger a lot of
rebuilds”, which is quite vague but appeals to “common sense.”  I’m not
sure this can usefully worded as strictly as you suggest.  WDYT?

Thanks,
