 infinisil | Also, the more general precedent of how RFCs can just be canceled, merged as experimental if you have the right commit bit, encouraged to be used by everybody if you have an audience, and then require teams to adapt to it | 18:21:37 |
| infinisil | Relevant is Alyssa Ross's comment here: https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/136#discussion_r987278726 | 18:22:22 |
 @brian:bmcgee.ie | I agree with the comment, if it's experimental, break it as necessary. As a flakes user I accept the churn, and I'll update as necessary. I know there will be a lot of people unhappy about any kind of breakage but I think this would be a valuable lesson as to why you don't let experimental features sit for long enough to become de facto use cases for a large chunk of people rather than stabilising them | 18:26:31 |
| infinisil | Yeah, that's gonna be really hard though, there's third-party products being built daily on top of experimental flakes without any care in the world (if only that kind of effort went into flakes stabilisation) | 18:27:48 |
| infinisil | I really like John Ericson's suggestions for what Nix should become here: https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/136#discussion_r1246035453 | 18:29:15 |
