 @syphoxy:matrix.org | personally, I agree with those though I'm fairly certain the first is infeasible without introducing categories .. which apparently people are unhappy about. | 10:39:40 |

personally, I agree with those though I'm fairly certain the first is infeasible without introducing categories .. which apparently people are unhappy about. Depends on the definition of huge. With the current proposal, we'll be under 1000 for most entries, same for the root level, and a bit over for li. See this thread also https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/140#discussion_r1212309795 | 10:40:57 |
| @syphoxy:matrix.org | the worst case scenario for that is 1600. | 10:42:09 |
| @syphoxy:matrix.org | we're already at 951 by those estimates. | 10:43:25 |
| @piegames:matrix.org | For the top level? Yeah but that one is bounded because it's a finite set, I don't expect it to grow much more than that | 10:45:07 |
| @syphoxy:matrix.org | yeah but .. that implies we're already creating a bad user experience. | 10:46:06 |
| @piegames:matrix.org | Um, why? | 10:46:43 |
| @syphoxy:matrix.org | the limit is 1000 for GitHub. who knows what it is for whatever UIs people are using. there are other items in pkgs/ as well. every time something enters pkgs/ we that much closer to hitting the limit again. | 10:47:41 |
| @syphoxy:matrix.org | I don't see a point in overhauling the entire ecosystem if the issue needs to be revisited as soon as NixOS gets larger. | 10:48:14 |
