Some wording suggestions, otherwise let's wait for the base PR to be merged.

Fix NixOS#8162 This is somewhat hard to observe until NixOS#8174 is merged, fixing the accidental hiding of experimental features that aren't currently enabled, but the fix is technically orthogonal.

Good stuff. Just a few presentational issues.

- Create a glossary entry for experimental features. - Have the man page experimental feature notice link `nix-commmand`. (Eventually this should be programmed, based on whether the command is experimental, and if so what experimental feature does it depend on.) - Document which installables depend on which experimental features. I tried to use the same style (bold warning and block quote) that the top of the man page uses. Co-authored-by: Valentin Gagarin <[email protected]>

Thanks @fricklerhandwerk. I accepted all your changes and found a few more cases of it linking the glossary not page, and updated them accordingly. With all changes accepted and two approving reviews, I have set this to automerge :). |

Create a glossary entry for experimental features.
Have the man page experimental feature notice link
nix-commmand.(Eventually this should be programmed, based on whether the command is experimental, and if so what experimental feature does it depend on.)
Document which installables depend on which experimental features.
I tried to use the same style (bold warning and block quote) that the top of the man page uses.
Motivation
We want to make clear what parts of the CLI are unstable and why.
If per draft RFC NixOS/rfcs#136 we end up stabilizing the CLI before flakes, it is especially important to document flakes things as such so they aren't confused with any new CLI bits that are newly stable.
Context
depnds on #7798
