@spacekookie@octodon.social The problem is that it got rushedly implemented 'experimentally' without clearly marking it as such, people got excited about the problems it *does* solve, started using it...

... and then overlooked the whole stability thing, kinda dropped support for "explaining to nebiews how to do stuff without flakes", and the RFC process was also pretty much bypassed. It's irritating.

(I feel like this is at least partly a rehash of a longer-standing problem in the Nix community, where people get so excited about all the complex stuff they can do, and kinda forget to leave the ladder out behind them for newbies. Leading to missing docs etc.)

Flakes *should* be redone through the RFC process, properly this time. There have been some noises that this is on the table. Remains to be seen whether it actually happens :/
