it might be helpful to add a defaultText listing the plugins added by default. if the docs say Default: [ ] we'd assume that no plugins would be loaded, which is not what's happening.

I added a note to the description (defaultText IMO would not be not right since we do not set the default value but rather the regular value).

This whole thing looks really off to me. Why have an option with no default if it effectively has one? If there is a default value, then shouldn't it be set at the option declaration location and not somewhere else?

If you use default, and user sets networking.networkmanager.plugins, the default will not be used. Whereas this way, it will be merged. And people will be able to use lib.mkForce to replace the pseudo-default value.
Now, one can just use `networking.networkmanager.plugins = lib.mkForce [];` if they want to get rid of the plug-ins. Co-authored-by: lassulus <lassulus@lassul.us>

Does this still work? I put this in my config and on rebuild I can still see openconnect and gtk3 trying to build. |
