Many (most?) of the GNOME-family packages follow an "even/odd"
development cycle, where the stable branches have even minor versions.
While I couldn't find it mentioned explicitly on the glib homepage, a
peek in the git repository suggests that they follow this model:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/refs/

So I think we should instead go for the most recent 2.52.x release. Can
you check whether that is the case for "gobject-introspection" as well?

`guix refresh` suggests the 1.52.x branch:

/pre-inst-env guix refresh -t gnome gobject-introspection
gnu/packages/glib.scm:292:13: gobject-introspection would be upgraded from 
1.50.0 to 1.52.1

I think it's okay to push these to the 'staging' branch, since the
evaluation didn't get very far due to the offloading problems. Let's
start over when things calm down.
