-* bind mounts are ignored
-  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682662
+* make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices

 
 

-* 0595f9a1c182a84581749823ef47c5f292e545f9 is borked, freezes shutdown
-    (path: after installing inotify watches, recheck file again to fix race)

-* get writev() /dev/kmsg support into the F15 kernel
-    https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/6/473
-  patched merged into -mm
+Features:
+* possibly set timezone offset from systemd at init instead
+  of calling hwclock

 
 

-* fix sd_is_socket() invocation in dbus
+* kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"

 
 

-* fix default timeout values mentioned in man page
+* hostnamed: make file updates atomic

 
 

-* New CK release, with sysinit.target dropping and TTY loop
+* support sd_notify() style notificatio when reload is finished (RELOADED=1)

 
 

-* New Avahi package, enable it by default
+* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
+  when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
+  assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible

 
 

-* don't trim empty cgroups
-  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678555
+* drop -lrt req for sd-daemon.[ch]

 
 

-Features:
+* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
+  the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.

 
 

-* use pivot_root on shutdown so that we can unmount the root directory.
+* add dbus call to convert snapshot into target
+
+* move nss-myhostname into systemd
+
+* figure out a standard place to configure timezone name, inform myllynen@redhat.com
+
+* add dbus call to convert snapshot into target
+
+* move /selinux to /sys/fs/selinux
+
+* add prefix match to sysctl, tmpfiles, ...
+
+* send out "finished" signal when we are finished booting
+
+* drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
+
+* add inode stat() check to readahead to suppress preloading changed files
+
+* allow list of paths in config_parse_condition_path()
+
+* introduce dbus calls for enabling/disabling a service

 
 

-* make sure multiple sockets in a .socket file appear in the order they are listed
-  currently we get:
-    [Socket]
-    ListenSequentialPacket=@/org/kernel/udev/udevd    --> 4
-    ListenNetlink=kobject-uevent 1                    --> 3
+* support notifications for services being enabled/disabled
+
+* GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
+
+* support wildcard expansion in ListenStream= and friends
+
+* support wildcard expansion in EnvironmentFile= and friends
+
+* avoid DefaultStandardOutput=syslog to have any effect on StandardInput=socket services

-* allow port = 0 in .socket units
