, nixosConfigurations ? { }

It is not entirely clear or self evident why fup should provide this service.

Sure, it is nice to have, but it is also only a // nixosConfigurations away in the top level flake.

It might be for backward compatibility. Also perhaps it could be useful to still get module args(nixpkgs) and other things, but I don't think thats done at the moment.

Responded with the reasoning of it in the PR itself

Suggestion in the PR looks like a better fix for this. The main motive was to get this out of the function signature, but it can be passed and lib.recursiveUpdated as a friendly service from fup , still via ....

Is there any need for an escape hatch? I have read a few flakes that use this repo, and I don't think any use this escape hatch. If your going to use flake-utils-plus, I can't see a reason to make your own configuration and that being easier than using nixosProfiles. If someone wants to do something custom, they can just do it within their own flake.

And flake-utils-plus is already so general and clean, that an escape hatch seems very extra to me.

[gytis-ivaskevicius]

Yeah, maybe you are right

This has been dealt with in #17 (via deprecation)
