What if I want to load variables before use nix that influence how Nix will operate?

I don't know... maybe you shouldn't? that's probably the bad "side effects" and can give surprises.

I think the upstream decides to remove the .envrc after all. So I guess, we are gonna be back to the previous status quo.

I actually wouldn't mind much, and started to commit .envrc in other projects after I saw the wki page on direnv...

Setting something like NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE could be useful to some before Nix is invoked on a per-project basis. This does not seem weird.
