This is a news entry and it represents an experimental new feature of Home Manager. The idea is to inform you when something of importance happens in Home Manager or its modules. We will try to not disturb you about the same news more than once so the next time you run home-manager switch or home-manager build it should not notify you about this text again. News items may be conditional and will then only show if the condition holds, for example if they are relevant to your configuration. If you want to see all news then please use the home-manager news command. Since this is an experimental feature any positive or negative feedback would be greatly appreciated.
