 Features:
 =========
 
+* Add command for signing modules
+   - There is a script to sign modules in kernel tree, but we should be able to
+   sign modules by ourselves
+
+* Stop using NOFAIL() and fatal()
+
+* Protect index against OOM
+
+* Implement actions in kmod tool like 'insert', 'remove', 'info', etc
+
 * testsuite:
-   - when fake init_module() succeeds, create an entry in /sys/module
    - when fake delete_module() succeeds, remove its entry from /sys/module
-   - add test for dependency loop _with install commands_ relying on module
-     already been loaded in order to succeed. E.g.: alsa install rules on
-     debian:
 
-   install snd /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-ioctl32 ; /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq ; }
-   install snd_rawmidi /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-rawmidi && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq-midi ; : ; }
-   install snd_emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-emu10k1-synth ; : ; }
-   install snd_pcm modprobe --ignore-install snd-pcm $CMDLINE_OPTS && { modprobe --quiet snd-pcm-oss ; : ; }
-   install snd_mixer modprobe --ignore-install snd-mixer $CMDLINE_OPTS && { modprobe --quiet snd-mixer-oss ; : ; }
-   install snd_seq modprobe --ignore-install snd-seq $CMDLINE_OPTS && { modprobe --quiet snd-seq-midi ; modprobe --quiet snd-seq-oss ; : ; }
+* Stop using system() inside the library and use fork + exec instead
+
+* config: configs that do not need to be matched by fnmatch() could be using a
+  vector instead of a list. This way we could search in it by calling
+  bsearch().
 
-* review API, maybe unify all of these setters:

-modprobe
---------
-
-* 'modprobe -l' was marked as deprecated and does not exist anymore
-
-* 'modprobe -t' is gone, together with 'modprobe -l'
-
-* there's and additional '--remove-dependencies' flags to modprobe so we
-  can remove modules depending on that one
-
-* modprobe doesn't parse configuration files with names not ending in
-  '.alias' or '.conf'. modprobe used to warn about these files.
-
-* modprobe doesn't parse 'config' and 'include' commands in configuration
-  files.
-
-* modprobe from m-i-t does not honour softdeps for install commands. E.g.:
-  config:
-
-        install bli "echo bli"
-       install bla "echo bla"
-       softdep bla pre: bli
-
-  With m-i-t, the output of 'modprobe --show-depends bla' will be:
-        install "echo bla"
-
-  While with kmod:
-        install "echo bli"
-        install "echo bla"
-
-* kmod doesn't dump the configuration as is in the config files. Instead it
-  dumps the configuration as it was parsed. Therefore, comments and file names
-  are not dumped, but on the good side we know what the exact configuration
-  kmod is using. We did this because if we only want to know the entire content
-  of configuration files, it's enough to use find(1) in modprobe.d directories
-
-depmod
-------
-
-* there's no 'depmod -m' option: legacy modules.*map files are gone
-
-lsmod
------
-
-* information is parsed from /sys instead of /proc/modules
