Hello Michael and oss-security,

As soon as we are comfortable with a fix, we will release a new
version of Nix.

We will also examine how we handle security issues, and publish a
post-mortem of how this happened and how our processes will be changed
to prevent this from happening again.

I don't think you handled it unusually badly (shit happens), but the
desire to improve is admirable nonetheless.
