This allows users to override all packages. This is useful to build minimal systems that really don't required these packages that previously were "required".
This allows users to override (i.e. exclude) these packages from their system closure if they don't need them.
Fuse is stil enabled by default so the default behaviour of NixOS doesn't change. However, now it's possible to actively exclude fuse when you don't need it.
It is still enabled by default but now you can actively exclude it if you don't need it.

Thanks for catching this. Note that this would've been caught by Hydra as well and would not have ended up in any channels. I do recommend using unstable and not master directly unless you're intending to catch bugs early (in that case; thanks!) |

Doesn't change any NixOS default but reduces the mandatory system closure by enabling users to exclude more things.
Is part of the larger work of #428908.
These changes are necessary to eventually make activation bashless. However, they are absolutely valuable even if you don't care at all about bashless because they give the user more control over their closure.
See the commits for more details on what is changed.
Commit-by-commit review is recommended.
