Setting nixosVersion to something custom is useful for meaningful GRUB menus and /nix/store paths, but actuallly changing it rebulids the whole system path (because of `nixos-version` script and manual pages). Also, changing it is not a particularly good idea because you can then be differentitated from other NixOS users by a lot of programs that read /etc/os-release. This patch introduces an alternative option that does all you want from nixosVersion, but rebuilds only the very top system level and /etc while using your label in the names of system /nix/store paths, GRUB and other boot loaders' menus, getty greetings and so on.

Every once in a while, a new NixOS release may change
|
|
configuration defaults in a way incompatible with stateful
|
|
data. For instance, if the default version of PostgreSQL
|
|
changes, the new version will probably be unable to read your
|
|
existing databases. To prevent such breakage, you can set the
|
|
value of this option to the NixOS release with which you want
|
|
to be compatible. The effect is that NixOS will option
|
|
defaults corresponding to the specified release (such as using
|
|
an older version of PostgreSQL).
