+* maybe introduce gpt auto discovery for /var/tmp?

+* set ProtectSystem=strict for all our usual services.
+
+* maybe add gpt-partition-based user management: each user gets his own
+  LUKS-encrypted GPT partition with a new GPT type. A small nss module
+  enumerates users via udev partition enumeration. UIDs are assigned in a fixed
+  way: the partition index is added as offset to some fixed base uid. User name
+  is stored in GPT partition name. A PAM module authenticates the user via the
+  LUKS partition password. Benefits: strong per-user security, compatibility
+  with stateless/read-only/verity-enabled root. (other idea: do this based on
+  loopback files in /home, without GPT involvement)
+
+* gpt-auto logic: introduce support for discovering /var matching an image. For
+  that, use a partition type UUID that is hashed from the OS name (as encoded
+  in /etc/os-release), the architecture, and 4 new bits from the gpt flags
+  field of the root partition. This way can easily support multiple OS
+  installations on the same GPT partition table, without problems with
+  unmatched /var partitions.
+
+* gpt-auto logic: related to the above, maybe support a "secondary" root
+  partition, that is mounted to / and is writable, and where the actual root's
+  /usr is mounted into.
