All warnings throughout the build process have been eliminated.
End users are in charge of i18n now, according to their individual desires.
A seal-off script takes care of the final setup steps.
Use Btrfs in favor of Ext4 for snapshots and enhanced user support.

The issue with auto-reboot here is you need to monitor the installation and then select memtest86 after it has finished.
Either somehow set up the bootloader so it runs memtest86 on the first boot, or move memtest86 at the end (but user reboot is still necessary so it's not clear what has been added with auto-reboot, and also auto-reboot loses any messages printed by nixos-install), or revert this change.

This stays in the final environment and pollutes it.

The priority setting is there for a reason: most packages get downloaded from the LAN when we install here.
It's probably not what you want from Germany, so make it configurable (i.e. option in default.nix, which can be off by default, and which would be turned on when building the netboot image on nixbld).
