I can confirm this commit broke xf86-video-fbdev (no DRI support), USB
ethernet and USB modem support for me.  The output of running as root

out=~florian/environ-bad ; for f in $(ls /proc); do ls -l /proc/$f/exe; cat 
/proc/$f/environ; done > $out; chown florian:users $out


is attached as environ-bad.

Patching Shepherd to revert 501d62c4d235045e79e5aef684b5a9250c1cf8c4
(service: Export 'default-environment-variables') leads to a kernel
panic.  Doing that and reverting Guix commit
8b9cad01e9619f53dc5a65892ca6a09ca5de3447 (after a rebuild of udisks
and dependencies — why?) leads to a working system again.  It is
attached as environ-good.

Regards,
Florian
