+* change default container location from /var/lib/container to /var/lib/machines
+
+* nspawn: when start a container "foobar" look for its configuration in a file "foobar.nspawn" in /etc/systemd/nspawn/ as well as next to the actualy directory or image to boot
+
+* Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
+
+* Check all invocations of access() and consider turning them into laccess()
+
+* "machinectl history"
+
+* "machinectl diff"
+
+* "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
+
+* "machinectl status" should show 10 most recent log lines of both the host logs of the unit of the machine, plus the logs generated in the machine
+
+* machinectl terminate doesn't work
+
+* add transparent btrfs pool in a loopback file in /var if btrfs operations (such as systemd-import pull-dkr) are used and /var is not a btrfs file system
+
+* systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
+
+* hostnamectl: show root image uuid
+
+* sysfs set api in libudev is not const
+
+* Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
+  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
+
+* port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
+
+* journald: broken file systems are real (btrfs), we need to handle
+  SIGBUS in some way if we cannot write or read from the disk.
+  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1151848
+
+* "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
+  operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
+  ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
+  do, for example)
+
+* resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
+  names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
+  (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
+
+* systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
+  journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
+  continously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
+  useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
+
+* synchronize console access with BSD locks:
+  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
+
+* as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
+  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
+
+* set $REMOTE_IP (or $REMOTE_ADDR/$REMOTE_PORT) environment variable when doing per-connection socket activation. use format introduced by xinetd or CGI for this
+
+* the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
+
+* in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
+
+* we should try harder to collapse start jobs for swaps that end up being the same:
+  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-November/025359.html
+
+* timedated should compensate on SetTime for the time spent in polkit
