home-service-type is a root of home services DAG.

home-profile-service-type is almost the same as profile-service-type, at least
for now.

home-environment-variables-service-type generates a @file{setup-environment}
shell script, which is expected to be sourced by login shell or other program,
which starts early and spawns all other processes. Home services for shells
automatically add code for sourcing this file, if person do not use those home
services they have to source this script manually in their's shell *profile
file (details described in the manual).

home-files-service-type is similar to etc-service-type, but doesn't extend
home-activation, because deploy mechanism for config files is pluggable and
can be different for different home environments: The default one is called
symlink-manager (will be introudced in a separate patch series), which creates
links for various dotfiles (like $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/$APP/...) to store, but is
possible to implement alternative approaches like read-only home from Julien's
guix-home-manager.

home-run-on-first-login-service-type provides an @file{on-first-login} guile
script, which runs provided gexps once, when user makes first login. It can
be used to start user's Shepherd and maybe some other process. It relies on
assumption that /run/user/$UID will be created on login by some login
manager (elogind for example).

home-activation-service-type provides an @file{activate} guile script, which
do three main things:

- Sets environment variables to the values declared in
@file{setup-environment} shell script. It's necessary, because user can set
for example XDG_CONFIG_HOME and it should be respected by activation gexp of
symlink-manager.

- Sets GUIX_NEW_HOME and possibly GUIX_OLD_HOME vars to paths in the store.
Later those variables can be used by activation gexps, for example by
symlink-manager or run-on-change services.

- Run all activation gexps provided by other home services.

It's strange, do I need to wait more, before replying to cover letter?
