Sounds like their target customers are commercial service providers and industrial device manufacturers using NixOS, but need to support stable deployments for longer than NixOS's current 6 month release cycle. Probably not to applicable for individual desktop users, but they still plan on hosting a public channel and cache for newer releases.
