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

[David Izquierdo]

I think It could be worthwhile to look at openSUSE's Tumbleweed setup 
for rolling releases. They use openQA for automatic testing of every 
package in the distribution, and then release the binaries as snapshots 
for users to update. Pretty similar to how nixpkgs git -> Hydra -> cache 
works, with an additional testing phase. I _think_ they provide it 
hosted, and if it's similar to OBS, they actively encourage community 
members and distros to use their infrastructure.
