Awesome, thanks :).

Would it be possible to also expose --silent as an option for the 
home-shepherd auto-start script once it does something in a stable version?

I think the issue is that the shepherd config generated by guix-home uses

(action 'root 'daemonize)

which is deprecated in 0.10 and on the devel branch seems to create a 
new action rather than invoking it. (So no error too).

When I change to the new way

(perform-service-action root-service 'daemonize)

daemonizing works.


Should guix-home be backwards compatible with older shepherds given that 
shepherd-0.8 and shepherd-0.9 are still packaged?
