 Features:
 
-* be stricter with fds we receive for the fdstore: close them asynchronously
+* maybe rework get_user_creds() to query the user database if $SHELL is used
+  for root, but only then.
+
+* there should be path_hash_ops and we should use it in tmpfiles' hashmap object to deal with identical but differently spelt paths
 
-* be stricter with pid file and notify pids: don't allow them to be outside of cgroup, except if sender is privileged
+* be stricter with fds we receive for the fdstore: close them asynchronously
 
 * calenderspec: add support for week numbers and day numbers within a
   year. This would allow us to define "bi-weekly" triggers safely.

 * add bpf-based implementation of devices cgroup controller logic for compat with cgroupsv2 as supported by newest kernel
 
-* implement transient socket unit.
+* introduce sd_id128_get_boot_app_specific() which is like
+  sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific(). After all on long-running systems both
+  IDs have similar properties.
 
-* make systemd-run create transient path and socket unit.
+* emulate properties of the root cgroup on controllers that don't support such
+  properties natively on cpu/io/memory, the way we already do it for
+  "pids". Also, add the same logic to cgtop.
+
+* set TasksAccounting=1 on the root slice if we are running on the root cgroup,
+  and similar for the others, as soon as we emulate them properly. After all,
+  Linux keeps these system-wide stats anyway, and it costs nothing to expose
+  them.
+
+* sd-bus: add vtable flag, that may be used to request client creds implicitly
+  and asynchronously before dispatching the operation
+
+* implement transient socket unit.
 
 * make use of ethtool veth peer info in machined, for automatically finding out
   host-side interface pointing to the container.
