   5 The Nix world is gradually adopting flakes and moving toward a world
   6 where there are no longer `nix-update`-maintained channels.  During that
   7 transition, it's nice to have system channels that still work, but emit
   8 a warning when they are accessed to alert the user of of a gap in their
   9 move-to-flakes.

  11 This repo can be used as a drop-in replacement for the `nixpkgs` channel.
  12 This repo doesn't contain `nixpkgs` -- this is merely a thin wrapper.
  13 Configure the actual `nixpkgs` to forward to as a `nixpkgs-warned`
  14 channel.
