Oh I see what you mean, I misunderstood your comment. Yeah I'm not sure what would be best in this regard. Flakes are on track to becoming a critical feature for Nix, though I'm not sure Flakehub will be a critical feature for Flakes. It seems there are some issues with standardization of pinning and versioning that need to be fixed in upstream, but the Flakehub folks seem committed to transitioning to those when fixed: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/introducing-flakehub/32044/14 https://discourse.nixos.org/t/introducing-flakehub/32044/14 As long as those standards get worked out upstream and Flakehub and similar projects follow them, and they're technically interchangeable, then they may be ok. It's if there are a bunch of different proprietary solutions with different proprietary standards where it becomes problematic.
