No TTY, assuming you would say yes :)

I can't remember, are these steps skipped during install if references to /nix are found in these files? Or does it fail.

I think the release notes are not the best place for platform-specific upgrade instructions, which are presumably the same for every release. Might be better to refer to some "Upgrading Nix" section.

Recommend adding a link to 4.4 to where a user can find the latest Nix binary tarball. |

What is the title of 4.4 you'd like a link to? |
