+1

I have learned (and borrowed) a lot from your configs in particular
Michael. Having some ideal configs would also be great. It should even
be pretty easy to add generic configurations which would be equivalent
to task specific distros that could simply be added to imports e.g. a
high security config or a pro-audio workstation config. Of course, the
ability to mix and match these in NixOS would be far superior to
running a separate distro for each task.
