Sounds good. It would be good to have the motivation/reasoning behind
this change in the commit message though.

Something like this seems a little neater to me:

  (define dummy-networking-service-type
    (service-type
     (name 'dummy-networking)
     (extensions
      (list (service-extension
             shepherd-root-service-type
             (const
              (list
               (shepherd-service
                (documentation
                 "Provide loopback and networking without actually doing anything.")
                (provision '(loopback networking))
                (start #~(const #t))))))))
     (default-value #f)))

Just becasue const is being used. Although maybe the shepherd-service
itself could do with being extracted to a variable.
