-* stop importing kernel exported env variables. The utterly broken logic in
-  the kernel exports every kernel command line option which is not recognized
-  as a built-in module option as an env variable. Systemd should not pass-on
-  that nonsense, a kernel command line option is a command line option not an
-  env variable:
-    $ cat /proc/252/environ
-    initrd=\6a9857a393724b7a981ebb5b8495b9ea\3.10.0-2.fc20.x86_64\initrd
+* ellipsize_mem must take into account multi-byte unicode characters, and
+  - make the resulting line the requested number of *characters*, not *bytes*,
+  - avoid truncuating multi-byte sequences in the middle.
+
+* When we detect invalid UTF-8, we cant't use it in an error message:
+  log...("Path is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment: %s", rvalue);

-* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
-  libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
-  name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but

+  Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details.

 Features:
 

-* btfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
+* backlight: properly handle multiple backlight devices for the same
+  hardware: at shutdown we should only save the backlight setting for
+  the "best" way to access the backlight. Strategy should be: at
+  shutdown, ignore all backlights that are connected to a non-eDP or
+  non-LVDS port, and then prefer the firmware device over platform
+  device over raw device per-PCI card. Delete all old data. At boot
+  simply apply whatever data we find. Also see
+  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libbacklight/tree/libbacklight.c#n194
+
+* rfkill: save/restore soft rfkill status across reboots
+
+* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
+
+* ensure scope units may be started only a single time
+
+* document that in instead of FsckPassNo= people should just add a manual dep to systemd-fsck@.service to their mount units.
+
+* better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
+
+* systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
+
+* for transient units, instead of writing out drop-ins for all properties consider serializing them in the normal serialization stream
+
+* logind: when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
+
+* session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
+
+* add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
+
+* journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
+
+* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
+  probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
+
+* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue

+* make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd

 
 * when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
