So you had a very similar idea about update scripts.

We should chat about that; I think there should be a system
in place for derivations to specify how the next version can
be found and if possible how to automatically update the version
tags & hashes.

Those can obviously not be executed by nix itself, but by other
systems like the nixos monitor.
