Wednesday triage meeting

Triage
`builtins.path` and `builtins.filterSource` use wrong filter paths with `--store` argument · Issue #11503 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
@Ericson2314 would like to use “rootless” source accessors; written up as `builtins.storeDir` should return a path, and not a string · Issue #12158 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
However, this is not compatible with current expressions.
A proper fix would map back and forth between physical and logic paths so that the physical location of the store is not leaked to the expressions by filterSource/builtins.path
Copying lots of paths fails with "too many root sets" · Issue #7359 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
sinkToSource allocates a coroutine, which registers itself with the gc, which may then cause the error.
