NixOS is not dying, please don't spread fear actively

Hm, was this actually the case? I wasn’t following closely at that point, but what I see is:

Shepherd team has unanimously agreed to accept the RFC.

Then, FCP got restarted

Then, the shepards team reached consensus that the RFC is Ok-ish, and that we don’t need an RFC for experimental features:

As I recall it, the concensus in the last meeting was that:

  1. Experimental features don’t require RFCs
  2. We do not concensus on what the final form of flakes should look like in, or perhaps even roughly what it should like
  3. It’s best best to try to reach it empirically, via the unstable feature.
  4. Some people wanted to merge the RFC (amended to make the above clear) anyways. The rest had no objection.

And then the RFC was closed with flakes remaining experimental feature until today.
