[Nix-dev] NixOS 14.11 branch-off delayed for a few days

[James Cook]

I labelled a new bug with the 14.11 milestone, because it's a
show-stopper on my system: X11 doesn't work with (I think) the open
source radeon driver.  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/5101

Unfortunately I might not have much time to dig into it over the next
week, so it might be impractical to fix it for the 14.11 release.  But
I'm all ears if anyone has ideas for me to try.
