+- 8ch indent, no tabs
+
+- structs in MixedCase, variables, functions in lower_case
+
+- the destructors always unregister the object from the next bigger
+  object, not the other way around
+
+- to minimize strict aliasing violations we prefer unions over casting
+
+- for robustness reasons destructors should be able to destruct
+  half-initialized objects, too
+
+- error codes are returned as negative Exxx. i.e. return -EINVAL. There
+  are some exceptions: for constructors its is OK to return NULL on
+  OOM. For lookup functions NULL is fine too for "not found"
+
+- Do not issue NSS requests (that includes user name and host name
+  lookups) from the main daemon as this might trigger deadlocks when
+  we those lookups involve synchronously talking to services that we
+  would need to start up
+
+- Do not access any directories outside of /etc, /dev, /lib from the
+  init daemon to avoid deadlocks with the automounter
+
+- Don't synchronously talk to any other service, due to risk of
+  deadlocks
