+        NixOS version name to be used in the names of generated
+        outputs and boot labels.
+
+        If you ever wanted to influence the labels in your GRUB menu,
+        this is the option for you.
+
+        The default is <option>system.nixos.tags</option> separated by
+        "-" + "-" + <envar>NIXOS_LABEL_VERSION</envar> environment
+        variable (defaults to the value of
+        <option>system.nixos.version</option>).
+
+        Can be overriden by setting <envar>NIXOS_LABEL</envar>.

+        Useful for not loosing track of configurations built from different
+        nixos branches/revisions, e.g.:

+        Strings to prefix to the default
+        <option>system.nixos.label</option>.
+
+        Useful for not loosing track of configurations built with
