Is adding a `nixos` source a common usage action?

Under Adding Dependencies the README gives as an example:
npins add channel nixos-21.11
But under what situations would one to add nixos-*
? NixOS tests?
After all, nixos-*
doesn't contain nixpkgs-*
(which is what is required to set up NixOS)?
So is this actually good example for this section, or would it be better to have
npins add channel nixpkgs-21.11

NixOS modules are part of Nixpkgs, and thus the nixos channels contain all you need. The only difference is in the test set which gets run on them. https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nix_channels
