It looks good to me, but I was wondering if this wouldn't fit better in
a etc/news.scm entry, or blog post, since it's a section which will
eventually be obsolete, as more and more systems are installed out of the
box with the unprivileged daemon.

A couple of related questions: are Guix Systems already automatically
handled to run the daemon unprivileged now?  Is this just for foreign
systems?  Is the guix-install.sh script able to setup the daemon for
unprivileged execution now?

Thanks,
Maxim
