I just want to recall you that I've made a script to find out the
impact of a modification in NixPkgs:

nixpkgs/maintainers/scripts/rebuild-amount.sh

fell free to used it, and estimate the time that the buildfarm will
take to recompile these packages.  The problem is not updating or not,
the problem is avoiding compilation for our users.  if it is likely to
take a long time, then you should add it in a branch before merging
it.  (in order to let the buildfarm compile it)
