Is NixOS fundamentally a more secure OS?

NixOS History and Our Experience - Nix, Null, Nada, Nothing
Content-addressable-storepath Derivations (CAS): Not something that users will mostly interact with directly, but one of the "pitfalls" of nix right now is that updates to "fundamental packages" like glibc, will cause most packages to be re-built. CAS derivation may help significantly in this regards, because there may be a point in which the changes don't have meaningful impact on a given down stream dependencies (for example, a pure python package); the CAS derivation may get to a point where it can start "re-using" existing builds after it determined that the contents exactly match.

We want to make Nix better
Actually the cache isn't that important, most binaries get rebuilt quite often due to their dependencies changing.
Although it is my hope that rfc 17 eventually makes it through: https://github.com/wmertens/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0017-inten...
What are some alternatives?
