We can do that, but should it be a blocker?  Anyway, let’s try and we’ll
see.

BTW:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix refresh -l -e '(@@ (gnu packages base) tzdata)'
Building the following 239 packages would ensure 442 dependent packages are 
rebuilt
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I was expecting to see fewer packages depending on this one since
3ffaec136fab017e6cc094287da207cf30f05974.  Perhaps in the ‘staging’
branch we should migrate a few more packages to ‘tzdata-2017a’?

Thanks,
