Nix lets you go back, and you and even mix channels. Pulling one package from a different version.

That's true, but you have to know there was a backdoor first. If someone doesn't know, and they use the latest version, they're vulnerable to attack

@starman @GarlicToast true but I don't think you can use nix and not know about the xz exploit within minutes of it being found out.

I believe the point they were making is that if you are techy enough to use nix, they are likely the type to keep up to date with news like this.
