Hi David,

"Thompson, David" <dthompson2@worcester.edu> skribis:

This is on purpose.  :-)  The manual gives this example:

          (service openssh-service-type
                   (openssh-configuration
                     (x11-forwarding? #t)
                     (permit-root-login 'without-password)))

and that=E2=80=99s how it should be used.  (See
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-10/msg00095.html>.)

In recent service submissions, I=E2=80=99ve suggested that we stop adding
=E2=80=98foo-service=E2=80=99 procedures and instead directly expose the
=E2=80=98foo-service-type=E2=80=99 and =E2=80=98foo-configuration=E2=80=99 =
records.

The rationale is that the service type and config records have to be
exposed anyway if we want users to be able to customize services (with
=E2=80=98modify-services=E2=80=99), to remove services from a list, and so =
on.

The downside is that it=E2=80=99s more typing, but I think that=E2=80=99s r=
easonable.

Thoughts?
