Changing (guix build utils) is an extreme case, but pretty much. I keep
a TODO list of things I want to do on that branch, and once it gets big
enough, I try to implement all at once before starting the Big Rebuild.
Then go do something else until a node in the graph fails to build.
Berlin typically has substitutes all the way up to 'guix', so it's "not
that bad" unless you are changing the really low layers.

No worries, and sorry for the angry comment. :-)
