To be fair, patching existing binaries isn’t all that easy to begin with. Once you need to start moving around structures, a lot of bets are off. In case of NixOS, I’m sure the long nix store paths added often overflow structures and require workarounds to avoid breaking images. Hacking around Win32 PE images, I’ve run into a lot of tricky subtle issues over time...

My only point of critique is they should immediately tag a new version after a bug fix, cause many distro's have buggy versions of patchelf.
