| dish [Fox/It/She] | nice, thanks hexa | 00:54:05 |
| hexa | no, thank you for carrying most of the work | 00:54:24 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | issue with many packages in nodePackages still is that they dont have lockfiles, they may have been migrated otherwise | 00:54:29 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | see https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/projects/83/views/11?query=sort%3Aupdated-desc%20is%3Aopen | 00:54:44 |
| hexa | sad, but not strictly our problem | 00:55:05 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | true | 00:55:20 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | also fwiw idmail has had an issue open for a while(https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/470855) with no response from the maintainer so | 00:56:51 |
| hexa | cool, so we just open a PR to remove eventually | 00:58:16 |

 Cobalt | Hey, it's only the third major version in 6 major releases. They at least tried to tone it down for half the releases ;) | 20:00:12 |
