Because I still don't think modify-services is documented well enough
and I have only one case where it's working for me, I assume:
As an example,
(service openssh-service-type
(openssh-configuration
(permit-root-login #t)))
Would still work. If it doesn't, I know there is no lint checking for services
in the system config.
