of contents.

remove sentence for chapter transition
...
idea: sections could be read in different orders by linking them in
different ways (e.g. depth-first or breadth-first). adding hard-coded
transitions makes that confusing.

WIP: Document the design of Nix
...
The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why
are things the way they are".
I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we
would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people
currently turn to the thesis for.
I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues.
