This is not going to happen. "Migrating to Nix" means "rewriting the
distro from scratch". If you´re interested in a distro built on top
of Nix, you can try NixOS (which looks really nice IMO).

While we are switching the whole tree to Nix, I'd strongly advocate that:
1/ All ebuilds must be rewritten in whitespace [1]; that will have the
great side-effect that all those pesky whitespace repoman checks will
start to be meaningful finally.
2/ All eclasses must be rewritten in Piet [2] at the same time, so that
we make dev's life a bit more colorful once the former step. is
finished. There is already a platform-independent IDE ready for this
purpose after all [3].
Since the benefits of the above are so obvious, I suppose this doesn't
even require a GLEP and the porting work should therefore start
immediately to make it in time for 2008.0.
Have a nice day. :P
