It was needed while I was testing manual activation without shepherd
service, not needed anymore, already removed it locally.

It's not set by /activate.

You are right, the same as the first one, needed for more manual
approach, changed to #t, thank you.
Three patches for this service to work is on the way on guix-patches.
In the meantime, will try to build livecd with the home environment
inside.
P.S. Probably this system service is far from final version of this
feature, I still think about making home-environment a part of
user-account. Will evaluate pros and cons, after I get livecd built
successfully.
