Should this be a transparent upgrade for a nixos system running 1.5.2?

I'm quite sure it was intended so.

Since this change I've been unable to nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade or
use nix-env. They both seem to get stuck querying the binary cache. Each
time I try a "download-from-binary-cache.pl
<http://download-from-binary-cache.pl> --query" process is spawned.
Which appears to get stuck. This process is the 1.5.2 version of the script:

/nix/store/sxhiwkydfwcvsm77splhzlda63p8l5cv-nix-1.5.2/libexec/nix/substituters/download-from-binary-cache.pl
<http://download-from-binary-cache.pl> --query

I don't know why this happens, the new cache on Amazon has worked very well for me so far (although I haven't used it so much yet). Note that the bump to 1.5.3 is NOT in binary cache yet (in the statically served one).

However, I would recommend to wait for another channel bump for a different reason as well: Qt security fix is pending, which means changing hashes of all that depend on Qt.
