This was a workaround to begin with, as hardened kernel didn't support tracing.
Back then kernel level tracing was only available through debugfs, and now that
tracefs has been available on NixOS for a while now, enabled in

This workaround can be removed and bpf can be used with tracefs.

the initial change was already made ad hoc in 10a75ab, in response to the recently introduced enforced redirects mapping that is supposed to keep stable URLs.
due to the redirect mechanism's current limitation to locations within
the same site (that is, either the Nixpkgs xor the NixOS manual), and
the observation that noteworthy Nixpkgs changes tend to be
self-contained, it seemed reasonable to introduce a seperate release
notes document. it also has the advantage that users of only Nixpkgs
don't have to deal with release notes that are only relevant for NixOS.
the original change was already lossless for NixOS users, since the
Nixpkgs release notes are appended to the NixOS release notes.
this change moves the pre-existing Nixpkgs notes to the new dedicated page.

this assertion broke gnome sessions in very hard to debug way:
- gdm starts, but on successful login just returns to login screen
- journalctl isn't exactly helpful in this condition:
- a typical gnome login will involve many warnings and errors, that
aren't actually preventing login, but will lead affected users
on a merry chase for many hours
- the actual indicators in the log arent't even an errors, only info and warning
- graphical-session.target: Starting requested but asserts failed.
- Assertion failed for Current graphical user session.
startx is a power tool for power users, needing a certain level of
expertise for the user to even want it, let alone use correctly.
However, the expectation is, that the necessary expertise will be
contained within the domain of startx and that it not break tools for
regular users.
This partially reverts commit e1c3082085.
