KISS. Fix-points are fun but also make things less approachable. Functions in lib/fixed-point.nix had to know that they were being used in the lib/default.nix and couldn't rely on lib. If you find yourself needing to replace an existing lib function, patch entangled. For example lib/fixed-point.sh nixpkgs (this should be pretty rare). Extending is still possible with the merge (`//`) operator.

This is a good change, but also a breaking change. Users of lib.extend should be given time to migrate their code with a deprecation message. The message should reference documentation that helps them migrate. They'll need to learn about specialArgs for example.

Thanks, with the extra context, I don't believe that this PR is worth it anymore. |
