Subject: bug#44353: [PATCH version-1.2.0 v2] guix: system: Add a new '--non-volatile' option for disk-image.

Hey Ludo,

That's also what I proposed to Maxim. Note that "guix system vm" is
still using the "old" VM based image production method and doesn't share
the new image API volatile default.

Thanks,

Mathieu
