We are migrating packages that meet below requirements:
1. using `callPackage`
2. called path is a directory
3. overriding set is empty (`{ }`)
4. not containing path expressions other than relative path (to
makenixpkgs-vet happy)
5. not referenced by nix files outside of the directory, other
than`pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix`
6. not referencing nix files outside of the directory
7. not referencing `default.nix` (since it's changed to `package.nix`)
8. `outPath` doesn't change after migration
The tool is here: https://github.com/Aleksanaa/by-name-migrate.
In preparation for the deprecation of `stdenv.isX`.
These shorthands are not conducive to cross-compilation because they
hide the platforms.
Darwin might get cross-compilation for which the continued usage of `stdenv.isDarwin` will get in the way
One example of why this is bad and especially affects compiler packages
https://www.github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/343059
There are too many files to go through manually but a treewide should
get users thinking when they see a `hostPlatform.isX` in a place where it
doesn't make sense.
```

I guess my time has come as well...
With this commit, I'm not just dropping my maintainer entry, but I'm also
resigning from my duties as a board observer and NixCon project lead.
I also terminated my Summer of Nix contract today.
I'll also stop hosting the local NixOS meetup.
The only "project" I'll finish under the NixOS Foundation umbrella is
Google Summer of Code because the mentees aren't even remotely
responsible for why I'm leaving, and it would be unfair to leave them
hanging.
I'm grateful for all the things I was able to learn, for all the experiences
I could gather, and for all the friends I made along the way.
NixOS is what makes computers bearable for me, so I'll go and work on
some fork (*something something* you always meet twice in life).
