[Nix-dev] 'nixos-stable' channel?

[David Izquierdo]

I think it would be handy though. After all, this is NixOS we're talking 
about. We already have system.stateVersion for protecting stateful data, 
and fixing the rest of the system is only a rollback away. Why not make 
the alias/symlink without making it the default?
