 profpatsch | As far as I understand, the module list order determines the merging order | 13:51:43 |
| profpatsch | like, for example, if you have a list that merges its element via append, the order of module imports will determine which elements are first in the resulting list | 13:56:57 |

 nbp | Profpatsch: Well given that the order is left unspecified such that each module can import in which ever order, the serialized DAG is unknown to the end user. | 18:23:11 |
| nbp | Within a module, you have no idea which of the import came before, nor which will come after, without having a global knowledge. | 18:23:56 |
| nbp | Whereas with override, you are supposed to master this fact to be in control of the desired output. | 18:24:37 |

| profpatsch | nbp: you are right of course | 09:11:39 |
| profpatsch | I don’t think the module system is a good fit for nixpkgs either, if just because of the slowness | 09:11:55 |

Nothing concrete, but just wanted to point out this issue: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/273534 We keep seeing this. And the current flake usage makes this worse. I opened: https://github.com/nixpkgs-architecture/issues/issues/25 , still needs work and discussion. | 17:49:48 |
