@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)But flakes are kinda 3986 but not really...18:41:06
@kranzes:matrix.orgIlan Joselevich (Kranzes)tfw implementing correctly = backwards incompatible with nix18:41:32
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusno18:41:39
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusschemes should be generalized and pluggable18:41:51
@roberthensing:matrix.orgroberththis part is still experimental fwiw18:42:12
@roberthensing:matrix.orgroberth(flakerefs)18:42:58

@roberthensing:matrix.orgroberth:(18:43:22
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariuswell, if you put a flakeref in a NIX_PATH, it doesn't require an xp feature18:43:31

@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusin practice, breaking backward compat of it is not a good idea18:44:31
@roberthensing:matrix.orgroberththey're already part of the sediment record18:44:40
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusflakerefs as a term should die18:44:46
