This is the evaluation of Nixpkgs that will be provided to
all NixOS modules. Defining this option has the effect of
ignoring the other options that would otherwise be used to
evaluate Nixpkgs, because those are arguments to the default
value. The default value imports the Nixpkgs source files
relative to the location of this NixOS module, because
NixOS and Nixpkgs are distributed together for consistency,
so the <code>nixos</code> in the default value is in fact a
relative path. The <code>config</code>, <code>overlays</code>
and <code>system</code> come from this option's siblings.
This option can be used by applications like NixOps to increase
the performance of evaluation, or to create packages that depend
on a container that should be built with the exact same evaluation
of Nixpkgs, for example. Applications like this should set
their default value using <code>lib.mkDefault</code>, so
user-provided configuration can override it without using
<code>lib</code>.
Note that using a distinct version of Nixpkgs with NixOS may
be an unexpected source of problems. Use this option with care.
