Haven't had another upower package in nixpkgs since 2a2cb83

Motivation for this change
Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

People can still set their own upower package though. While I dislike having such options when it doesn't make sense, I don't think we can just remove them like that.

True, but are you saying if something was justified 5 years ago df95a8cc2f92 and causes rebuilds should have this option?

Or that we're not in our place yet to remove any until there's a consensus?

If you're going to remove an option you should use mkRemovedOptionModule too.

mkRemovedOptionModule

Thanks, was wondering if there was something like this.

Aren't package options valuable for users wanting to use non-standard versions in modules but not everywhere, like with a full package override?

No proper response here. Closing
