Use latest version of Xmonad (0.17.0)?

Help
2

I don’t use home-manager, so I simply edited my NixOS config like so:

    # XMonad
    windowManager.xmonad = {
      enable = true;
      enableContribAndExtras = true;
      extraPackages = haskellPackages: [
        haskellPackages.xmonad_0_17_0
        haskellPackages.xmonad-contrib_0_17_0
        haskellPackages.xmonad-extras_0_17_0
      ];
    };

and unfortunately I got a similar error. Without the _0_17_0, everything works just fine. I would expect the changes I made to work, so I think there’s a problem. I see that someone just posted a workaround on Xmonad is out of date · Issue #145730 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub, but I haven’t tried it yet.
