dhcpcd to segfault randomly or give corrupt output. See e.g.
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2380666/nixlog/1/raw
The problem seems to be that wicd sends a "-k" command to dhcpcd to
release the interface, which doesn't work well with a dhcpcd that
handles all interfaces in one process.

the same as the usual nixos. I think this trivial change works;
I checked the grub.cfg output generated in the iso_minimal.

because it can be overriden choosing another memtest86.
As an effect of a change in nixpgks, the isos will include
memtest86 4.0a instead of memtest86+ 4.20, only because the
former is released later, and I deduce it should work better.

* Load scsi_wait_scan after all other kernel modules to ensure that
all SCSI device nodes have been created.
* Increase the timeout for the appearance of the root device to 20
seconds.
* Do a "udevadm settle" just after the root device has appeared to
make sure that udev isn't accessing the device anymore (hopefully).
On EC2 (Xen), I've seen fsck on the root fail randomly with "device
in use" errors.

challenge-response is an authentication method that does not need the
plain text password to be emitted over the (encrypted) connection.
This is nice if you don't fully trust the server.
It is enabled (upstream) by default.
To the end user, it still looks like normal password authentication,
but instead of sending it, it is used to hash some challenge.
This means that if you don't want passwords to be used ever at all,
and just stick to public key authentication, you probably want to
disable this option too.

aforementioned utilities.

You can now set the forwardX11 config option for the ssh client and server separately.
For server, the option means "allow clients to request X11 forwarding".
For client, the option means "request X11 forwarding by default on all connections".
I don't think it made sense to couple them. I might not even run the server on some machines.
Also, I ssh to a lot of machines, and rarely want X11 forwarding. The times I want it,
I use the -X/-Y option, or set it in my ~/.ssh/config.
I also decoupled the 'XAuthLocation' logic from forwardX11.
For my case where ssh client doesn't want forwarding by default, it still wants to set the path for the cases I do need it.
As this flag is the one that pulls in X11 dependencies, I changed the minimal profile and the no-x-libs config to check that instead now.

delete routes and addresses when it quits. This causes those routes
and addresses to stick around forever, since dhcpcd won't delete
them when it runs next (even if it acquires a new lease on the same
interface). This is bad; in particular the stale (default) routes
can break networking.
The downside to removing "persistent" is that you should never ever
do "stop dhcpcd" on a remote machine configured by dhcpcd.
