Hello, I was wondering what version (23.05, 22.11, unstable, etc) of nixpkgs you use. I personally use unstable, and it's never broken.

Edit: I also have a master input in my flake, which I added just for XIVLauncher (context: someone made a PR to fix it not building, and it got merged into master, but last time I checked it wasn't backported to unstable)

Is there a reason you rebase on master instead of just unstable?

I find it very easy to bisect and fix problems in nixpkgs, and it seems like a good way to contribute. I can do upgrades whenever I feel like it, and it's trivial to roll back, so it's never blocking me when I need to get other work done.
