Something I forgot is NixOS/nixpkgs#173671 but I don't really know how to phrase this and when to do it. Do you have any idea, @Mindavi? You starting around the time of branch-off is probably good to get done in time. Also related to #4

In the past, I believe this has been done one evaluation before official release, but I may be mistaken. That way ZHF fixes can be accepted until the very last second.

Yeah, I think it makes sense to do it at the very last moment. Would be nice if we could get a script or something going, but it seems like that might be some more work than I have time for now.
I think it could make sense to just mark them all and then drop any commits that are not applicable anymore.
But yeah, definitely figuring out the process myself too. Any process description is probably better than none :)

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/common-updater/scripts/mark-broken looks like it should help with / do that.

Interesting, could definitely be useful! (Though it doesn't take into account different platforms, but we may be able to build that easily-ish 😁)
cc @mweinelt, @vcunat, @cole-h because you reviewed my last PR as well.
Maybe there's something to mention that I forgot? I don't plan to merge this until 1-2 days before the release
