* sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
-* kdbus: peeking is subject to a race when we look at a message while the message is being migrated to the implementor's connection. Needs kernel fix, and then we need to invoke the FREE ioctl in busname_peek_message()
-
-* kdbus: for some reason "busctl monitor" only shows metadata for signal msgs, never method call or method reply msgs

* add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
