For the Nixpkgs security tracker UI we want to aggregate variants under their primary channels.
This can only be approximated heuristically, but
channels.nixis authoritative and the closest to consistent we have.So I wondered why
nixpkgs-unstableis not primary. When this structure was established in #189, the field was simply ommited in #189 (comment).Am I missing something from the semantics of "primary" that would forbid this change?
What makes a channel primary anyway? That the maximum number of tests is run?
