-        Enables some optimizations to closure size and startup time:

+        Enables some optimizations by default to closure size and startup time:
           - defaults documentation to off
           - defaults to using systemd in initrd
-          - builds qemu without graphics or sound for non-graphical qemu VMs
+          - use systemd-networkd
+          - disables systemd-network-wait-online
+          - disables NixOS system switching if the host store is not mounted
 
         This takes a few hundred MB off the closure size, including qemu,
