Should this look like nixos options so that you can deprecate options or
say something was renamed?  Maybe that's overkill ?

If you change too many "useflags" you'll have to rebuild very much.

I've started a section "open issues" on the wiki. Maybe this topic is a
nice amendment.

See _development_ -> open issues:derivation styles.
