I love NixOS but does it not update too often? Or is it the ability to pin to specific package versions in isolation that would make it a selling point to CentOS (for Reasons) users?
The only thing that makes always-ancient RHEL and CentOS attractive is that enough other people are using identically the same image, exploring its bug envelope thoroughly and sharing the costs of necessary updates.

The role of NixOS would be to reduce those costs.
