Whilst convenient I don't know if I find this type of "overhead" a priority. I think I'd rather have it included in nixpkgs with some automagical mantainance script for version updates.

If you prefer nixpkgs to nix flakes, yep that works

automagical mantainance script for version updates.

which would most probably be possible using nixpkgs passthru.updateScript's default nix-update-script

Yeah that, knew there were some builtin ones but not which would do the job off the top of my head. Speaking of, I've got a release to make.

Good luck getting it in Nixpkgs. Personally, I don't mind the compile time; it takes me 15-20 minutes, which is much more bearable than an 8-16 hour Chromium/Firefox compile.
