True, which is absolutely sufficient for most use cases.
I'm currently doing some work for ML and data science companies where full reproducibility and introspection is very much desired.
So you need to run your own source cache to provide that guarantee, because you can't count on cache.nixos.org still providing the source code from a package built 4 years ago.
