Thanks nice, could not belive that I am the first "genieus" that thought
on that.

Do you know the reason why it defaults to false, cant think of any
disadvantage of that functionality. I mean nixos eats harddrive like
nearly no other distro. So saving space cant be the reason.

Some sort of privacy concern?
