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.

synopsis: "Support unit prefixes in configuration settings"
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).
