3.14 is no longer supported upstream by kernel.org and thus no longer receives security patches. The git commit mentioned in this .nix isn't even available in the linked repository -- https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel -- so I think this .nix might be dead anyway. Finally, it specifies 3.14.0, which is so ridiculously old (the latest was 3.14.79) that nobody develops for it.

The last commit there: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+log/chromeos-3.14 is 32 hours old. Doesn't sound very unmaintained.

It's not maintained by kernel.org anymore. However, if you'd alternatively prefer to switch the .nix here to a more recent commit from the chromeos people, and then make sure to track their git repo carefully, that'd be a satisfactory solution to me. But IMHO it's easier and probably better to just get rid of ancient kernels.
