There's an issue for this[0]. Currently Nixpkgs relies on a 130 MB (!) uncompressed tarball, which is pretty big compared to Guix. It would be amazing to get it down to something like less than 1 KB with live-bootstrap.
Also, due to the way Nixpkgs is architectured, it also lets us experiment with more unusual ideas like a uutils-based stdenv[1] instead of GNU coreutils.
