The problem behind this is that the hardened patchset[1]. Quite recently
this led to a weird problem when Linux 5.12 was dropped (and thus had to
be removed from `nixpkgs`), there were no patches for 5.13, so
`linuxPackages_hardened_latest` had to be downgraded to 5.10 as base[2]
which may be rather unintuitive and unexpected.
To avoid these kind of "silent downgrades" in the future, it makes sense
to drop the attribute entirely. If somebody wants to use a hardened
kernel, it's better to explicitly pin it using the newly introduced
versioned attributes, e.g. `linuxPackages_4_14_hardened`.

The wpa_supplicant service in the NixOS installer is unusable because
the control socket is disabled and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ignored.
The manual currently recommends manually starting the daemon and using
wpa_passphrase, but this requires figuring out the interface name,
driver and only works for WPA2 personal networks.
By enabling the control socket, instead, a user can configure the
network via wpa_cli (or wpa_gui in the graphical installer), which
support more advanced network configurations.
Some ACME providers (like Buypass) are using a different certificate
to sign OCSP responses than for server certificates. Therefore,
sslTrustedCertificate should be provided by the user and we need to
allow that.
* Previously, both the xorg and wayland backend were built into the yambar
package. The refactor breaks up each backends to its separate, with xorg
being the default. Thus yambar users on wayland should switch to the
yambar-wayland package.
For security reasons, and generally, it is best to create a more fine
grained group than plugdev. This way users that wish to tweak razer
devices don't have access to the entire plugdev group's permissions.
This is of course a breaking change.
Previously the driver was configured exclusively through convoluted
environment variables.
Now the driver's defaults are configured through env variables.
Some additional concerns are in the github comments of this PR.
