this is really *bad* then. The purpose of releasing a stable version
is to provide a version that is, like, stable. If the releases are
unstable, then they are useless and ought to be replaced by an
improved release as soon as possible. Nix is supposed to be superior
to other distributions in terms of stability. People will hardly
believe that when they're being told that using a stable Nix release
is considered "risky".

Just my 2 cents ...
