 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
 
 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
 
-* journal: allow per-entry control on /var vs. /run (think incognito browser mode)

 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
 
 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
