tools (4.1.2) seems to have performance problems doing pattern
substitutions on large strings (it takes several minutes on
binutils' Makefile.in). Bash 4.2 seems to be fine.

bash's pattern replacement feature. "replace-literal" is an
uncommon command so it was a headache during the bootstrap.

quite some services need to be started/restarted when a connection is
established/teared down. Also, some services are optional depending on
the connected access point. For example: use a vpn on an untrusted
network.
these small trigger scripts don't change any behaviour by themselves,
but allow you to hook in to them if you need.
example use:
jobs.gw6c.startOn = pkgs.lib.mkForce "started openvpn-dcsOffice";
jobs.gw6c.stopOn = pkgs.lib.mkForce "stopping openvpn-dcsOffice";
jobs."openvpn-dcsOffice".startOn = pkgs.lib.mkForce "wicd-postconnect";
jobs."openvpn-dcsOffice".stopOn = pkgs.lib.mkForce "stopping network-interfaces or wicd-predisconnect";
In the example, I use 3 layers. When a physical connection is
available (wifi connect), I setup a vpn connection, and setup an ipv6
tunnel on top of that. When disconnecting, they are automatically shut
down in the right order as well.

at least 2 nixos users were affected by a graphics bug that got fixed
in 2.15.
Officially 2.15 was meant for a newer xorg server, libdrm, mesa and all, but
I've been running with this for over a month with no issues (used
compositing desktop, opengl and hd video).
I know 2.17 is in the repo, but it doesn't builde (missing deps I
think).

for setting up tunnel/routes.
I had some issues with ipv6, iproute2 fixed those.
Both are equally well supported by upstream.

I use this feature for doing snapshot backups, which is way faster
than copying a huge files tree.
The patch is semi-official, rsync-patches is maintained by rsync
upstream itself.
The patch doesn't affect any behaviour, it only adds 1 option
so it shouldn't affect you if you don't use it.

on some hardware, wpa_supplicant would crash when controlled via dbus
(wicd/networkmanager), this patch fixes it.
