For instance, > if after a nixos-rebuild switch you discover that you don’t like the > new configuration, you can just go back It can be an inspiration for a new version of pacman rewritten in haskell? Also Don Stewart's talk about 'Scripting with Types' might inspire someone too (BTW since he started arch-haskell I think he is a Arch user): http://donsbot.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/semicolon.pdf
