::::This isn't most useful template, but it still has use cases and adds value to some wiki pages. I'm up for replacing this template with something else that contains the same information as search.nixos.org has on packages, but as I am aware that information is only able to be generated from evaluating the nix expressions in nixpkgs (which search.nixos.org does and stores it in an elasticache instance).

:::::Fair enough, you do bring up good points here, especially regarding package sets. I still think there isn't enough new information to justify leading the reader off the wiki. However, I'd be fine if we decided to keep it (and rename it to something saner :)) ). I'll leave the notice for the 30 days, and see if anyone else has strong thoughts on this. Otherwise, we can keep it and I'll have a look through where it's used, rephrasing or reformatting to improve the surrounding context at least. | |||
