 Artturin | Removing it completely might be better | 18:06:15 |
| Artturin | But not as good of a surprise | 18:06:28 |

 emily | making it a throw is what my PR automatically did, because the alias is old | 18:07:42 |
| emily | but I will adjust the throw text to say "use Python 3 instead" | 18:07:47 |
| emily | freeing up the namespace will be nice, it's awkward that python is used as a generic-Python argument in places but also exists at the top level as an alias | 18:08:12 |
| Artturin | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/456512 | 18:10:35 |
| emily | does anyone want to merge https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/456060 so I have fewer aliases.nix conflicts to resolve later 😆 | 18:14:50 |
| emily | do we want to keep forceSystem around? | 18:21:32 |
| emily | I've never seen anyone use it | 18:21:33 |
| emily | it seems like a poor substitute for variant sets and nixpkgsFun | 18:21:57 |
