Fetching expressions is something else than the author wants.
Third-party binary packages for nix can be provided, and we have those
one-click installs for that. Of course one would have to have some
package manager on the system already (Nix in this case), which is
considered a large disadvantage by them.

BTW, I tried their Chromium AppImages and without success, at least on
NixOS. So much for running on any Linux.
$ /some/path/Chromium-50.0.2644.0-x86_64.AppImage
-bash: /some/path/Chromium-50.0.2644.0-x86_64.AppImage: No such file or
directory
