   automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist

+* make polkit checks async
+
+* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.

 Features:
 Features:

+* cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording

 
 

-* add an option to make mounts private/shareable and so on, enable this for root by default
+* journal: if mmap() fails for mapping window try to unmap a a few older maps
+
+* add flag file for shutdownd so that clients can check whether a shutdown is queued
+
+* new env var for /var/tmp? glib?
+
+* dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
+
+* Make -f in systemctl enable both --follow and --force
+
+* ensure that logind sets the syslog facility to AUTH when logging
+
+* when a service has the same env var set twice we actually store it twice and return that in systemctl show -p... We should only show the last setting
+
+* add man page documenting all kernel cmdline options, including stuff like fsck.mode=
+
+* show getty in container mode, not sulogin
+
+* support container_ttys=
+
+* journald: make configurable "store-on-var", "store-on-run", "dont-store", "auto"
+  (store-persistent, store-volatile?)
+
+* Add ConditionReadWriteFileSystem= so that systemd-sysctl doesn't get executed when /proc/sys is read-only
+
+* unset container= and container_uuid= for child processes
+
+* when bind mounting /etc/machine-id, do so from /run/machine-id
+
+* introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
+
+* journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
+
+* introduce NeedsMounts= or so to create .mount dependencies automatically for a specific path
+
+* add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
+
+* add shutdown inhibit API for usage by libvirt and friends
+
+* journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
+
+* support chrony in addition to ntpd in timedated
+
+* journal: extend sd-journal.h logging calls to implicitly log function names/line numbers/...
+
+* document crypttab(5)
+
+* There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
+
+* hook up /dev/watchdog with main event loop for embedded, server uses
+
+* when dumping cgroup contents, include main/control PID of a service, explicitly
+
+* keep an eye on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670100
+
+* D-Bus: always pass cred data along each message
+
+* journal: work on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/systemd-journal
+
+* journal: allow turning off logging entirely
+
+* journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
+
+* add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
+
+* make logind reserve tty10 or so for text logins, so that gdm never picks it up
+
+* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
+
+* isolate for getty is still broken, due to logind
+
+* default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
+
+* support units generated by a generator and placed in /run/systemd/system/; the directory is
+  currently ignored because it is empty before the generatores are executed
+
+* Possibly, detect whether SysV init scripts can do reloading by looking for "echo Usage:" lines
+
+* figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
+
+* add interface to allow immediate rotation of the journal, and even flushing.
+
+* dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
+
+* journald: reuse XZ context
+
+* logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API

 
 

-* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727068
+* write RPM spec macros for presets

 
 

-* for socket units don't inherit global stdout setting.
+* journal: write man pages for API

 
 

-* internal restart counter for units (focus on auto-respawn)
+* journal: OR matches are borked

 
 

-* finer-grained auto-respawn settings (rate-limit)
+* journal: extend hash tables as we go
+
+* journal: API for looking for retrieving "all values of this field"
+
+* journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
+
+* journal: local deserializer of export mode, http server
+
+* journal: message catalog
+
+* journal: forward-secure signatures
+
+* document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
+
+* rework namespace support, don't use pivot_root, and mount things after creating the namespace, not before
+
+* systemctl journal command
+
+* journalctl: --cursor support, priority filtering
+
+* systemctl status: show coredumps
+
+* systemctl status: show whether journal was rotated since service started
+
+* save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
+
+* support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
+
+* journal: allow per-entry control on /var vs. /run (think incognito browser mode)
+
+* clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
+
+* support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
+
+* move to LGPL2+
+
+* logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
+
+* document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
+
+* when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
+
+* Make libselinux, libattr, libcap, libdl dependencies only of the tools which actually need them.
+
+* as Tom Gundersen pointed out there's a always a dep loop if people use crypto file systems with random keys
+
+* unset container=, container_uuid= in PID1?
+
+* automatically escape unit names passed on the service (i.e. think "systemctl start serial-getty.service@serial/by-path/jshdfjsdfhkjh" being automatically escaped as necessary.
+
+* if we can not get user quota for tmpfs, mount a separate tmpfs instance
+  for every user in /run/user/$USER with a configured maximum size
+
+* default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
+
+* add an option to make mounts private/shareable and so on, enable this for root by default

   needs to be auto-respawned?
