-<para>NixOS reentry can be used for both pinning the evaluation to a
-specific version of NixOS, and to dynamically add additional modules into
-the Module evaluation.</para>
-
-<section><title>NixOS Version Pinning</title>
-
-<para>To pin a specific version of NixOS, you need a version that you can
-either clone localy, or that you can fetch remotely.</para>
-
-<para>If you already have a cloned version of NixOS in the directory
-<filename>/etc/nixos/nixpkgs-16-03</filename>, then you can specify the
-<option>nixos.path</option> with either the path or the relative path of
-your NixOS clone. For example, you can add the following to your
-<filename>/etc/nixos/configuration.nix</filename> file:
-
-<programlisting>
-nixos.path = ./nixpkgs-16-03/nixos;
-</programlisting>
-</para>
-
-<para>Another option is to fetch a specific version of NixOS, with either
-the <literal>fetchTarball</literal> builtin, or the
-<literal>pkgs.fetchFromGitHub</literal> function and use the result as an
-input.
-
-<programlisting>
-nixos.path = "${builtins.fetchTarball https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/1f27976e03c15183191d1b4aa1a40d1f14666cd2.tar.gz}/nixos";
-</programlisting>

-<section><title>Adding Module Dynamically</title>
-
-<para>To add additional module, the recommended way is to use statically
-known modules in the list of imported arguments as described in <xref
-linkend="sec-modularity" />.  Unfortunately, this recommended method has
-limitation, such that the list of imported files cannot be selected based on
-the content of the configuration.
-
-Fortunately, NixOS reentry system can be used as an alternative to register
-new imported modules based on the content of the configuration. To do so,
-one should define both <option>nixos.path</option> and
-<option>nixos.extraModules</option> options.
-
-<programlisting>
-nixos.path = &lt;nixos&gt;;
-nixos.extraModules =
-  if config.networking.hostName == "server" then
-    [ ./server.nix ] else [ ./client.nix ];
-</programlisting>
-
-Also note, that the above can be reimplemented in a different way which is
-not as expensive, by using <literal>mkIf</literal> at the top each
-configuration if both modules are present on the file system (see <xref
-linkend="sec-option-definitions" />) and by always inmporting both
-modules.</para>
