bug#57229: ‘guix system image’ forces commit authentication?

[Tobias Geerinckx-Rice]

Hi all,

There doesn't seem to be a way to opt out of commit authentication 
with ‘./pre-inst-env guix system image’.  Am I missing (a 
reasonable!) one?

I'd expect all commands that authenticate commits to honour 
‘--disable-authentication’.
