It's not *state*, is it?  We're basically already doing global
configuration, and I think the proposal is about actually using this to
get a USE-like system.

IMO it wouldn't hurt, as long as the defaults are sensible, because
Hydra will most likely only build those (the number of possible
configurations it could build increases exponentially with every new
setting, so it couldn't possibly build all of them).

In other words: please don't turn NixOS into Gentoo by forcing us to
compile everything. =)
