+# trust the massive codebase of that tool (with hundreds of contributors).
+#
+# Since the rules for downloading videos is usually against the wishes
+# of proprietary vendors, and a video is many megabytes anyway,
+# it will be fetched from the most recent nixpkgs unstable channel before running.
