Due notably to the “string freeze”, I think we shouldn’t apply it to
‘version-1.2.0’.
Some comments:

That’s not generally the case, though in (gnu system image), only two
image types have it set to false.
Before the new image API though, ‘disk-image’ did not produce a volatile
root, IIRC. I’m tempted to think that we should set (volatile-root?
#f) on image types where it makes sense, which is maybe all of them
except ISO. (Then we need to make sure ‘guix system vm’ still gets a
volatile root.)
WDYT, Mathieu?
So apart from the sentence above, the patch LGTM for ‘master’!
Thanks,
Ludo’.
