Hi Ludo, Very cool work, I'll have to check it out. One queston and one quick note:

In particular, if you have one output of a derivation realized but not all (because you gc'd the others or got the one via a substitutor), nix-store can't realize the non-realized ones directly yet. There may be other issues I'm not aware of too. Cheers, Shea
