The structured options are incomplete compared to upstream and I think
it will be a maintenance burden to try to keep up. Instead, provide an
option for the raw config file contents (prometheus.yml).
Otherwise it starts way too early, only to fail and having to restart
until devices are available. It is less wasteful to simply wait until
there's a reasonable chance of success. This is consistent with
upstream.
- most nixos user only require time synchronisation,
while ntpd implements a battery-included ntp server (1,215 LOCs of C-Code vs 64,302)
- timesyncd support ntp server per interface (if configured through dhcp for instance)
- timesyncd is already included in the systemd package, switching to it would
save a little disk space (1,5M)
The collectd service runs as an unprivileged user by default, so it does
not leak more information to its data directory than any user can obtain
elsewhere by other means.
If people are running it as root and are worried about information leak,
we can add collectd group and set perms to 750.

Fixes#21198.
Split packages in three categories, all of them going into the system
package list:
- pre-requisite packages
- core packages
- optional packages
Add a new configuration option 'environment.lxqt.excludePackages' to
specify optional LXQt packages that should be excluded from system
packages.
Add 'gvfs' as a pre-requisite package, needed by 'pcmanfm-qt' to
handle virtual places, like "Computer" and "Network".
even if cups rewrites its config file due to config changes made through
its web-based management UI, we need to keep the PATH pointing to
currently-live nix store directories. fixes#20806.
- As noted on github, GDM needs different parameters for X.
- Making xserverArgs a true list instead of concat-string helps to
filter it and it feels more correct anyway.
- Tested: gdm+gnome, lightdm+gnome. There seems to be no logout option
in gnome, and gdm doesn't offer other sessions, but maybe these are normal.
It was deprecated and removed from all modules in the tree by #18319.
The wireguard module PR (#17933) was still in the review at the time and
the deprecated usage managed to slip inside.
Fixes#20713, though I'm certain nixpkgs contains loads of places
without proper quoting, as (ba)sh unfortunately encourages that.
The only plus side is that most of such problems in nixpkgs aren't
actually security problems but mere annoyance to those who are foolish
enough to use "weird" characters in critical names.
