John,
Thank you for supporting and encouraging me to push the envelope further.
NixBSD was already in great shape, I just wanted to add a little bit of polish and make it easier for people to consume. I hope that the demo may help get others interested and to get set up locally.
I would like to add support for additional kernels. I heard that NetBSD can also boot from ZFS, but I haven't worked out all the details yet. I might like to experiment with that some time.
I've also been keeping an eye on Cygwin support, and it would also be quite interesting to NixOS-ify ReactOS :p
