Hi Ludo,

It's added by PATCH v2 1/2 from the series. Didn't the second mail get through?

Yeah, I've split it into two patches because I actually got used to
operating-system-user-kernel-arguments by now (only a few days in). We could
only apply PATCH v2 1/2 and not apply PATCH v2 2/2 if we wanted.
In the end it comes down to whether we deem the existence
operating-system-boot-kernel-arguments an implementation detail or not (whether
the user would ever need to be aware of
operating-system-boot-kernel-arguments). We have to export
operating-system-boot-kernel-arguments because one thing in gnu/system/vm.scm
needs it - otherwise it would be very much an implementation detail.
Let's see what the others say.
