am I going to switch distros just to use a different provisioning tool?

  Yes... Eventually. The Nix model is the only sane model going into the future where complexity will continue to increase. Nobody is forcing you to switch distros now, but hinting that you'll probably want to look into this, because the current models might well be on their way to obsolescence.

    * Unique PREFIX; cool. Where do I get signed labels and checksums? * I fail to see how baking configuration into packages can a) reduce complexity; b) obviate the need for configuration management. * How do you diff filesystem images when there are unique PREFIXes in the paths? A salt module would be fun to play around with. How likely am I to volunteer to troubleshoot your unique statically-linked packages?
