Well, given that even controversial changes are usually local, and when there is discussion it sometimes leads to the decisions strictly worse than any of the initial options (like in the case with the parallel builds), and the most annoying problems come from the seemingly most benign updates, and there is already more work in simply updating the packages we have than we have resources to do - the alternative you name seems better than "everything via pull requests". _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
