 Features:
 
+* sort generated hwdb files alphabetically when we import them, so that git
+  diffs remain minimal (in particular: the OUI databases we import are not
+  sorted, and not stable)
+
+* set SystemCallArchitectures=native on all our services
+
+* maybe add call sd_journal_set_block_timeout() or so to set SO_SNDTIMEO for
+  the sd-journal logging socket, and, if the timeout is set to 0, sets
+  O_NONBLOCK on it. That way people can control if and when to block for
+  logging.
+
+* tighten sd_notify() MAINPID= checks a bit: don't accept foreign PIDs (i.e.
+  PIDs not managed by the service manager)
+
+* journald: when we recv a log datagram via the native or syslog transports,
+  search for the PID in the active stream connections, and let's make sure to
+  always process the datagrams before the streams. Then, cache client metadata
+  per stream in the stream object. This way we can somewhat fix the race with
+  quickly exiting processes which log as long as they had their own stream
+  connection...
+
+* hostnamed: populate form factor data from a new hwdb database, so that old
+  yogas can be recognized as "convertible" too, even if they predate the DMI
+  "convertible" form factor
+
 * Maybe add a small tool invoked early at boot, that adds in or resizes
   partitions automatically, to be used when the media used is actually larger
   than the image written onto it is.
 
+* Maybe add PrivatePIDs= as new unit setting, and do minimal PID namespacing
+  after all. Be strict however, only support the equivalent of nspawn's
+  --as-pid2 switch, and sanely proxy sd_notify() messages dropping stuff such
+  as MAINPID.
+
 * change the dependency Set* objects in Unit structures to become Hashmap*, and
   then store a bit mask who created a specific dependency: the source unit via
   fragment configuration, the destination unit via fragment configuration, or
   the source unit via udev rules (in case of .device units), or any combination
-  there of. This information can then be used to flush out old udev-created
+  thereof. This information can then be used to flush out old udev-created
   dependencies when the udev properties change, and eventually to implement a
   "systemctl refresh" operation for reloading the configuration of individual
   units without reloading the whole set.

   the service cgroup, which is supposed to monitor the service, and when it

+* track the per-service PAM process properly (i.e. as an additional control

+* add a new "debug" job mode, that is propagated to unit_start() and for
