For those of us using Nixpkgs master beware that the staging-next branch is scheduled to be merged into the master branch on October 30th.

The staging branches often contain major changes; In my experience, they destabilze the master branch.

I use the Nixpkgs master branch. The strategy I've been using for years is to update Nixpkgs prior to the staging branch merge, and then hold off until the stable release "branch off", which is on November 14th. After that the master branch should be in a good state.
