Hi Vince, I do happen to know why it's set to false by default! I sent a PR to change it to true a while back, and got some good explanations for why that's a bad idea here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/16922
However, I'm now wondering if it might make sense to add "system.copySystemConfiguration" to nixos-generate-config's default output; I added a comment to that PR explaining the idea.
