As reference for people who weren't on BG's stream today or in the Discord shortly after:

The TL;DR of this is that while, no, it doesn't apply the config (i.e. by 'activating' it with darwin-rebuild or nixos-rebuild), the derivation building successfully is the reproducible part of the build anyway, so by ensuring the derivation builds, we'll be able to know that there aren't any configuration errors anywhere. This will be useful for tasks like updating home-manager, where the API can change, and because the changelogs can be hard to grok, we don't know if it'll work or not out of the box. As well as checking contributor's changes don't break the derivation outright.
