Hi,

I've set up a Nixpkgs/NixOS branch named "staging", intended to bunch changes
that cause rebuilds/redownloads of many packages (such as stdenv changes). The
idea is that this branch can be merged into master periodically (e.g. every few
weeks).

The main rule for staging is that it should always be mergeable into master. So
it should not be used for testing/developing potentially destabilising features
(e.g. updating GCC to 4.9, or a new X.org release). These should instead go into
their own feature branches, which can be merged into staging when they are
deemed sufficiently stable.

The Hydra jobset is here:
