rl-next: Add top 10 by +1 reactions on PRs

We should use a metric that weighs the related issues.
Counterbalancing time doesn't make much sense to me.
If it's around for longer, the fix will be relevant to more people.

+This eliminates all "cached failure of attribute X" messages by forcing evaluation of the original value when needed to show the exception to the user. This enhancement improves error reporting by providing the underlying message and stack trace.

+
+This update introduces a GitHub action to run a subset of the [flake regressions test suite](https://github.com/NixOS/flake-regressions), which includes 259 flakes with their expected evaluation results. Currently, the action runs the first 25 flakes due to the full test suite's extensive runtime. A manually triggered action may be implemented later to run the entire test suite.

+prs: 10668

+
+Configuration settings in Nix now support unit prefixes, allowing for more intuitive and readable configurations. For example, you can now specify [`--min-free 1G`](@docroot@/command-ref/opt-common.md#opt-min-free) to set the minimum free space to 1 gigabyte.
+
+This enhancement was extracted from [#7851](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7851) and is also useful for PR [#10661](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10661).

+prs: 10734

+
+The [`nix build`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-build.md) command has been updated to improve the behavior of the [`--keep-going`] flag. Now, when `--keep-going` is used, all hash-mismatch errors of failing fixed-output derivations (FODs) are displayed, similar to the behavior of `nix build`. This enhancement ensures that all relevant build errors are shown, making it easier for users to update multiple derivations at once or to diagnose and fix issues.

+These changes aim to replace the use of autotools and make with Meson for building various components of Nix. Additionally, each library is built in its own derivation, leveraging Meson's "subprojects" feature to allow a single development shell for building all libraries while also supporting separate builds. This approach aims to improve productivity and build modularity, compared to both make and a monolithic Meson-based derivation.
+
+Special thanks to everyone who has contributed to the Meson port, particularly [**@p01arst0rm**](https://github.com/p01arst0rm) and [**@Qyriad**](https://github.com/Qyriad).

+prs: 11086
+issues: 10570
+---
+
+This update addresses two bugs in the evaluation cache system:
+
+1. Regression in #10570: The evaluation cache was not being persisted in `nix develop` because `evalCaches` retained references to the caches and was never freed.
+2. Nix could sometimes try to commit the evaluation cache SQLite transaction without there being an active transaction, resulting in non-error errors being printed.
+
+These bug fixes ensure that the evaluation cache is correctly managed and errors are appropriately handled.

+synopsis: "Introduce `libnixflake`"
+prs: 9063
+---
+
+A new library, `libnixflake`, has been introduced to better separate the Flakes layer within Nix. This change refactors the codebase to encapsulate Flakes-specific functionality within its own library. 
+
+See the commits in the pull request for detailed changes, with the only significant code modifications happening in the initial commit.
+
+This change was alluded to in [RFC 134](https://github.com/nixos/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0134-nix-store-layer.md) and is a step towards a more modular and maintainable codebase.
