I didn't know about that website before. It looks vers useful, but monitor.nixos.org seems to be outdated for about 5 months.
It suggests [1] that I update mbuffer from version 20151002 to version 20160228.
On June 26th I already updated mbuffer to version 20160613. monitor.nixos.org has not picked that up yet.
