 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
 

-* enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
-  the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
-    $ systemctl enable getty@.service
-    ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
-

 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
   automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
   anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
 
 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.

-* shorten the message to sane length:
-
-  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.
-
-* sd_bus_unref() is broken regarding self-references and "pseudo thread-safety".
-  See the comment in sd_bus_unref() for more..

 Features:
 

-* udev should make /dev/loop-control and /dev/btrfs-control owned by the "disk" group, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1045432
+* journald: allows specification of UID range for splitting up journal files
+
+* systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
+  units are shown.
+
+* sd-event: - make it possible to embedd our event loop into foreign
+  event loops by passing out the epoll fd and providing three functions
+  that fit into GSource nicely.
+
+* networkd:
+  - add LLDP support
+  - ipv4ll with multiple interfaces doesn't work when both dhcp and
+    ipv4ll is used. for some reasons the kernel will currently pick an
+    ipv4ll source address to reach non-ipv4ll gateways.
+  - dhcp and ipv4ll should probably be skipped for "lo" devices, even
+    if the user has a catchall .network file installed, that might
+    theoretically match it.
+  - we probably should introduce a new operational state that
+    indicates that we are trying to acquire some configuration for a
+    link but haven't acquired any yet. Just to inform the admin that
+    networkd cares about an interface, but is still in progress..
+  - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
+    a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
+  - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
+    http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
+  - add per-network Domains= settings, with a special syntax Domains=*
+    for routing all non-otherwise routed traffic to this link
+  - add UseDomains= setting to [DHCP] to add dhcp supplied domains to
+    per-interface Domains= list.
+  - expose in the API the following bits:
+        - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
+        - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
+        - option 100, 101, timezone
+        - option 123, 144, geolocation
+        - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
+  - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
+    NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
+    to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
+
+* resolved:
+  - DNSSEC
+        - use base64 for key presentation?
+        - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
+        - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
+  - DNS
+        - search paths
+  - mDNS/DNS-SD
+        - avahi compat
+  - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
+  - edns0
+  - dname
+  - cname on PTR (?)
+
+* Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
+  without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
+  pull-in the policy.
+
+* Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
+
+* the resolv.conf tmpfiles line should be covered by ENABLE_NETWORKD...
+
+* sysusers:
+  - also create entries in /etc/shadow, /etc/gshadow
+  - allow setting the home directory of system users
+  - allow configuration of ranges to allocate items in
+  - add mode where we read sysusers data from stdin, so that we can run this from rpm scriptlets
+
+* Add a new verb "systemctl top"
+
+* refuse mounting on symlinks
+
+* logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
+
+* add new gpt type for btrfs volumes

 
 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
