"trace: warning:" When rebuilding

Help
1

I changed channels by doing

sudo nix-channel --add https://channels.nixos.org/nixos-unstable

This is a standard, non-flakified config.

Now, every time I rebuild, I get these warning messages, which are non-fatal:

trace: warning: The option `services.xserver.xkbVariant' defined in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix' has been renamed to `services.xserver.xkb.variant'.
trace: warning: The option `services.xserver.layout' defined in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix' has been renamed to `services.xserver.xkb.layout'.

This is my config:

This message is telling you that an option has been renamed. It says that the option previously known as services.xserver.xkbVariant is now known as services.xserver.xkb.variant. You should find the line in your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix where you define services.xserver.xkbVariant, and replace it with services.xserver.xkb.variant, which is what it has been renamed to.

  services.xserver.xkb = {
    layout = "us";
    variant = "";
  };

This solved my problem - Thank you! Do you happen to know why/what changed this?
