This sounds rather interesting to me, though I'm not sure whether this
is actually a challenge.

The one thing one'd need to do is to build a tool which does (for
example) {github,sf,foobar} -> IPFS, which is kind of a bash script.

And yes, I also see that this is completely independent of nixos.

Building a nix backend, so we can have `buildFromIPFS {...}`, would be
more challenging, I guess.
