I don't understand why, because nixos is the *only* distribution you can just use older revision and continue. So it should even make those newbe users use nixos with even more joy.
The problem is there are many packages - and there will be more - we will not have a chance to test all of them (eg games) - so we should define what we want to call breakage. Eg breaking ati/nvidia proprietary drivers is bader than breaking a particular game (for work). There will always be "new users" who find bugs .. So maybe the better way is to emphasize that using nixos its a smaller problem compared to other distros.
