Well mix was a no go for me for a few technical reasons:
* No multihost support, I want to share / between many hosts, nixos ideas support this but the implementation doesn't (and no I don't want to just share the nixstore)
* No package security, ideally package deps chains should have a per user/group created which won't allow broken programs from rm -rf / or worse.
* Nixos treats a filesystem as an object store, this goes against how most Unix tooling works (e.g how many Unix tools take a s3 obj?)
Things that might be incorrect on my part:
* No config validation, minor and hard though it would be nice if nixos had config validation.
* Single hash for store objects(?), it would be nice to use something like TLSH, etc in addition to a crypto hash
