I really don't like that Nixpkgs is being buried in favor of NixOS. More people using Nixpkgs => more bugs found+fixed, more packages, newer versions, more switches to NixOS.
Nixpkgs is a stepping stone. Why point Homebrew users to Nix? They only want to have an nginx install, or a more recent rsync etc. They don't want to reinvent Nixpkgs...
