 This section of the document categorizes and organizes all he packages that I
 want installed, attempting to group them as dependencies of others when
 necessary.
 
+It has come to my attention, that using home-manager to manage packages, isn't a
+recommended thing, while in theory there should be no errors with it, being a
+downstream package there is no warranty that an upstream change will break
+things with a new upgrade, breaking thus, the declarative nature of NixOs, for
+that purpose, I have decided to keep home-manager as a module, with the
+intention of reduce the number of dotfiles, however I will keep it exclusively
+as a dotfile and service manager.
