I have kind of mentally adjusted the 1200 limit to ~1800 to account for
the amount of new packages since that was written.  :-)

1800 would let us update things like dbus, glib and pango, where most of
util-linux' 2100 dependents come from, which is why I "threw it in
there".  But I guess our build farm has not scaled in accordion with the
package count.

Since we're now doing shorter core-updates cycles, I suppose these
updates can wait.  However, reverting these commits:

de02edbf11ffab652cc9def611358eefbc860147 gnu: cairo: Update to 1.14.10.         
                   
1bb0545bb8bcf3a60efa940ef2442763d8abe975 gnu: glib: Update to 2.52.3.

9238a9c086cc4ebac078080c1e7201c570660031 gnu: dbus: Update to 1.10.22.

...brings the 'staging' rebuild count down to ~1640 according to `guix
refresh -l libva mesa libdrm bluez cunit wayland graphviz librsvg gtk+`,
even though they individually don't touch more than ~1k packages.

Adding 'dbus' gives 1988 and 'util-linux' 2171, so it's not a huge
difference.  Is it still worth dropping the 300-500 extra rebuilds?
