I’d be all in favor of this change, even if it means some
synchronization between hydra changes and a nix update.
The thing that’d scare me most is the likely number of places where we
have hardcoded /nix/store.
While we’d be at it, it’d probably be possible to also do things that
couldn’t be done otherwise because it’d require store changes, like
making the store hierarchical to reduce the hurt it inflicts on quite a
few scripts that don’t expect hundreds of thousands of entries in a
single directory.
(Not that I expect this to actually happen, but it does sound like a
relatively good idea, even if it means that hydra will be twice as slow
for the duration of the migration period)
