Instead of having bekkalokk and everyone else rebuild themself every night (which might involve compiling software from scratch and whatnot), it would be cool if they could focus on the task they are mean to be doing, and rather be sent finished derivations from a builder-machine (like wenche or gluttony).

Another plan was to do do this in CI and bump a branch, so they still can do it but don't ever have to

That would mean they still have to eval themselves, no?

yes, it's not a workable solution for e.g the pis, but it at least avoids a central config management push tool
