Being honest about a defect/weakness like this while being a FreeBSD developer gives me (as non-FreeBSD user) faith in your platform.

I've recently tried NixOS and I'm impressed. Have you considered adopting Nix into FreeBSD?

Thanks! I also appreciate honesty about faults, so this is sort of a golden-rule thing for me. I'm glad I'm not alone :-).

I don't know anything about Nix. So the short but perhaps unsatisfying answer is that I have not considered adopting Nix.
