* wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
-* When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
- compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.

Janitorial Clean-ups:
* code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to extract_first_word() loops instead
Features:
+* PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
+ specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
+
+* For services: replace the default Requires=basic.target with After=basic.target + Requires=sysinit.target.
+
+* drop "Overridable" dependency types
+
+* document precise effect of DefaultDependencies=yes
+
+* add an explicit parser for LimitNICE= and LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
+ the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
+ specifications. Also, for LimitNICE= maybe introduce a syntax such
+ as "+5" or "-7" in order to make the limits more readable as they
+ are otherwise shifted by 20.
+
* do something about "/control" subcgroups in the unified cgroup hierarchy
* when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
-* push CPUAffinity also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller
+* push CPUAffinity also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller (only after the cpuset controller got ported to the unified hierarchy)
* add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
prefixed with /sys generally special.

-* Add PassEnvironment= setting to service units, to import select env vars from PID 1 into the service env block
-
* nspawn: fix logic always print a final newline on output.
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
* man: document that unless you use StandardError=null the shell >/dev/stderr won't work in shell scripts in services
-* man: clarify that "machinectl show" shows different information than "machinectl status" (no cgroup tree, no IP addresses, ...)
-
* "systemctl daemon-reload" should result in /etc/systemd/system.conf being reloaded by systemd
* install: include generator dirs in unit file search paths
- add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
- fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
- declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
- - journal: reuse XZ context
- sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
- journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
"dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
- document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
- documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
- man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
- - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
- man: add more examples to man pages
- man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
* dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
-* add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
-
* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
* fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on success and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
