Its nothing to do with a world religion, its correcting what I see as a flawed view that flakes are somehow something unrelated to nix and the issues involved with nix, and that time spent on flakes is time wasted from a nix consumer POV. I'm telling you that not only are flakes a main-project for nix developers, but that they serve to completely upend how nix is used. As I said, flakes directly solve several issues of nix-without-flakes. This is a huge benefit for the nix consumer.
