Unfortunately the registry should probably never delete anything, since it will cause flakes to start failing in surprising ways. That's why we've started deprecating them in Determinate Nix: DeterminateSystems/nix-src#37

@grahamc Can you elaborate on the "Unfortunately the registry should probably never delete anything, since it will cause flakes to start failing in surprising ways."?

in general, grahamc is right, but not in this case.

I don't think this graham's link contradicts with this at all. In Nix we no longer uses the registry in flake.nix as well, this is what the link is about. It's just used on the cli as a shorthand i.e. nix run.
