| leona: jopejoe1: are we okay giving a freeze exemption to breaking changes that only affect override interfaces of specific packages, within the next ~week?
my feeling is that it should be fine, because we generally don't give very strong stability guarantees to override interfaces in general – e.g. every time we backport a version bump that drops a no-longer-used dependency we break override interfaces on stable
context is https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/445668 and possibly https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/453948
(the former is zero rebuilds and only changes override interfaces, though there will be a follow-up clean-up on staging that will cause rebuilds and slightly change the meaning of e.g. llvmPackages.override on Darwin, but it needs a few more changes before it's ready to land so checking re: the deadline)
