+  message = ''
+    The neovim module now exposes programs.neovim.extraLuaPackages via init.lua instead of wrapper arguments.
+    This makes for a better out of the box experience, closer to what users can expect on other distributions, i.e., you
+    can now run any neovim derivatives (neovide, neovim-qt etc) without wrapping.
+
+    If you used home-manager only to install plugins, the newly generated init.lua might conflict with yours.
+    You can ignore the generated init.lua with
+    `xdg.configFile."nvim/init.lua".enable = false` but `extraLuaPackages` will become ineffective.
+    You can still refer to its generated content via:
+        xdg.configFile."nvim/lua/hm-generated.lua".text = config.programs.neovim.initLua;
+      and in your manual init.lua `require'hm-generated'`
