This reverts commit d170c98d13a7b622c57c9b9f727a6bfec95a9181. niksnut argues that we need smaller system closures, not bigger. So users facing the trouble of getting gcc rebuilds after nix-collect-garbage for any minimal nixos configuration change should use other means of not losing the stdenv output. One way is to keep one somewhere: nix-build -A stdenv -o stdenv '<nixpkgs>'. Another may be to use nix.conf options like gc-keep-outputs, gc-keep-derivations or env-keep-derivations.
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for Nix package manager.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/
folder.
