 Features:
 

+* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
+
+* check :no-sender logic after PID 1 conversion
+
+* increase journal files by a few MB each time, instead of piecemeal
+
+* add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
+
+* systemctl: rework wait filter to not require match callback
+
+* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
+
+* bus: access policy as vtable flag
+
+* journalctl: support -M to read journal of containers and determine journal directory from root directory of container
+
+* tmpfiles: to make sure we don't delete unpacked tarballs with old timestamps right-away never delete stuff that is inside a directory with a new mtime
+
+* "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
+  (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
+
+* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
+
+* remove NSS usage from PID 1 (notably the specifiers)
+
+* socket-proxyd:
+  - Support multiple inherited sockets mapped to different remote hosts
+  - Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
+  - Until we can start daemons directly, find a less ugly, less racy alternative than shell scripts for the second man page example.
+  - Support starting daemons directly without requiring a shell script; update man pages
+
+* optimize the cgroup propagation bits, especially unit_get_members_mask(), cgroup_context_get_mask()
+
+* "systemctl cat" or "systemctl view" command or or so, that cats the backing unit file of a service, plus its drop-ins and shows them in a pager
+
+* rfkill,backlight: we probably should run the load tools inside of the udev rules so that the state is properly initialized by the time other software sees it
+
+* Add a new Distribute=$NUMBER key to socket units that makes use of SO_REUSEPORT to distribute network traffic on $NUMBER instances
+
+* tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
