I'm quite against separating nixpkgs from nixos, on the contrary.

My intuition is that nixpkgs makes more than half of what nixos is; even 
when putting aside the fact that nixos expressions also reside in 
nixpkgs repo nowadays. There are nixos-specific expressions like for 
services and the system config, but mostly they even rely heavily on the 
common packaged stuff.

Also, much of the nixpkgs stuff doesn't really work well out of nixos, 
because packagers often assume our specific /run/* paths, or just 
because IMO relatively very few use it elsewhere on Linux (Darwin is a 
bit separate platform).
