    • General agreement on NixOS/nixpkgs#258650
    • @roberth: Could run the migration tooling on the base and PR, make sure the list doesn't grow
      • Benefit: No list needs to be committed, won't be a problem when a regression is merged
      • Disadvantage: Migration tooling needs to have a higher standard
      • @infinisil: Will think about this

  • @DavHau will get to it
• @DavHau Present experiments with module system -> next steps?
