Cool, I=E2=80=99ll start looking.

Great that you took the time to test thoroughly.

=E2=80=98nss-mdns=E2=80=99 passes, but intermittently fails in my experienc=
e, but it=E2=80=99s a
tough problem.

=E2=80=98encrypted-root-os=E2=80=99 was committed by mistake and the code t=
o make it
pass has not been committed yet.  :-)

Of all the system tests, only the 3 in (gnu tests install) really test
the =E2=80=98guix system=E2=80=99 command, which is what we=E2=80=99re inte=
rested in here.
