Yes, start the wiki page.

Don't forgett that nixos has the "nesting" features for builds.

Thus you can build i686,x86_64 and hardened/not hardened systems at the
same time.

Ther is not much which can go wrong other than that you have to download
nix* stuff twice.

Its on my todo list to improve the perl based grub builder to allow such
showing such 'sub-systems' in the boot menu again. The feature already
was there when the bash builder script was used. Might take some time
till I manage to do so.

Having a very short writeup about
- feature -X description see link foo
  potential issues:
 ..

would be perfect.

Why do you fear people disagreeing ?

Let me rethink: there are 3 types of tools I use most:
- browser (This will not be hardened for JIT reasons?, this could
  benefit little)
- email (this could benefit a lot)
- editor (I trust scripts anyway)
- web servers (this could benefit, unless I use nodejs ..)
