for example, the update from 0.9.16 to 0.9.17 broke this flake, after this change the derivation will be the same as the nixpkgs one. This is the better option since the flake is unmaintained in this repo (although it may still break inbetween releases)

Reason for overriding instead of keeping the full default.nix in-tree: for example, the update from 0.9.16 to 0.9.17 broke this flake because of the changed dependencies/build options, after this change the derivation will be the same as the nixpkgs one (provided the user sets
inputs.waybar.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"). This is the better option since the flake is unmaintained in this repo (although it may still break between releases). If someone decides to start maintaining it, this can be easily reverted.And the dev shell now allows traditional
makeworkflow, as well as clangd integration, allowing nix users to easily setup a dev environment.
