I've had to resort to doing the same a lot of the time as I await the merge process. Even after merge, it may take Hydra 3 days to get your changes from the default branch to even nixos-unstable for general usage. I find a fork a bit easier than piling overlays and forgetting to move on from them. My favorite was when the GNOME ISOs got so bloated it no longer fit on a DVD size-wise and nothing could move to unstable for over a week while folks hem and hawed about what to do with that situation. Not saying a little bikeshedding + solution digging isn't good for the long-term, but it seemed so odd that this was preventing anything from going to unstable.
