`guix refresh` always fetches the newest version of packages. This might
not be desired in all cases. E.g. one might want to keep some still
supported "major" upstream-version and not yet update to the next
"major" version.
Ludo suggested to add a property in packages that would instruct
updaters to restrict the version search space to a given regexp.
Rational: Example: KDE Plasma 5 has 5.12 as long-term-support (LTS)
version, while 5.14 has already being released. Do easy maintenance of
dependent packages, sticking to 5.12.x micht be desired.
