This reverts commit 5e3986f59c. This
un-implements RFC 92 but fixes the critical bug #9052 which many people
are hitting. This is a decent stop-gap until a minimal reproduction of
that bug is found and a proper fix can be made.
Mostly fixed#9052, but I would like to leave that issue open until we
have a regression test, so I can then properly fix the bug (unbreaking
RFC 92) later.
Nix is a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package
