impact due to the initial setup time of a sandbox for each build. It
doesn't affect derivation hashes, so changing this option will not
trigger a rebuild of packages.

# `stopIfChanged = false` changes to switch behavior
# from stop -> update units -> start
# to update units -> restart
#
# The `stopIfChanged` setting therefore controls a trade-off between a
# more predictable lifecycle, which runs the correct "version" of
# the `ExecStop` line, and on the other hand the availability of
# sockets during the switch, as the effectiveness of the stop operation
# depends on the socket being stopped as well.
#
# As `nix-daemon.service` does not make use of `ExecStop`, we prefer
# to keep the socket up and available. This is important for machines
# that run Nix-based services, such as automated build, test, and deploy
# services, that expect the daemon socket to be available at all times.
#
# Notably, the Nix client does not retry on failure to connect to the
# daemon socket, and the in-process RemoteStore instance will disable
# itself. This makes retries infeasible even for services that are
# aware of the issue. Failure to connect can affect not only new client
# processes, but also new RemoteStore instances in existing processes,
# as well as existing RemoteStore instances that have not saturated
# their connection pool.
#
# Also note that `stopIfChanged = true` does not kill existing
# connection handling daemons, as one might wish to happen before a
# breaking Nix upgrade (which is rare). The daemon forks that handle
# the individual connections split off into their own sessions, causing
# them not to be stopped by systemd.
# If a Nix upgrade does require all existing daemon processes to stop,
# nix-daemon must do so on its own accord, and only when the new version
# starts and detects that Nix's persistent state needs an upgrade.
