That’s something that has bothered me for quite a bit.
The releases are not frequent enough; 
in my opinion, nixpkgs master should receive nix updates
*at least* every two months.

There are so many breaking changes in nix “1.12” now
that it’s basically a whole new thing from what I hear.
It should definitely be released as version 2.

I’d urge the nix devteam to move to nix 2 release candidates
on master as soon as possible.
