I'm tentatively in favor of making the switch too. I'm going to test my
environment against pure-darwin this weekend.

The only people interested in maintaining the darwin ecosystem on Nix don't really want to have to maintain two parallel stdenvs, and unless someone stands up to fight for the old impure stdenv, I think everyone will be long-term better off with the pure one. Yes, there will be some short- and medium-term pain during the switch, but there already is with the El Capitan upgrade.
