Features:
+* make sure bash completion uses journalctl --fields to get fields list
+
+* use phyical_memory() to allow MemoryLimit= configuration based on available system memory
+
+* ProtectKernelLogs= (drops CAP_SYSLOG, add seccomp for syslog() syscall, and DeviceAllow to /dev/kmsg) in service files
+
+* ProtectClock= (drops CAP_SYS_TIMES, adds seecomp filters for settimeofday, adjtimex), sets DeviceAllow o /dev/rtc
+
+* ProtectMount= (drop mount/umount/pivot_root from seccomp, disallow fuse via DeviceAllow, imply Mountflags=slave)
+
+* ProtectDevices= should also take iopl/ioperm/pciaccess away
+
+* ProtectKeyRing= to take keyring calls away
+
+* RestrictNamespaces= or so in services (taking away the ability to create namespaces, with setns, unshare, clone)
+
+* IAID field must move from [Link] to [DHCP] section in .network files
+
+* make sure the ratelimit object can deal with USEC_INFINITY as way to turn off things
+
+* journalctl: make sure -f ends when the container indicated by -M terminates
+
+* rework fopen_temporary() to make use of open_tmpfile_linkable() (problem: the
+ kernel doesn't support linkat() that replaces existing files, currently)
+
+* check if DeviceAllow= should split first, resolve specifiers later
+
+* transient units: don't bother with actually setting unit properties, we
+ reload the unit file anyway
+
+* make sure resolved can be restarted without losing pushed-in dns config
+
+* journald: sigbus API via a signal-handler safe function that people may call
+ from the SIGBUS handler
+
+* when using UTF8, ellipsize with "…" rather than "...", so that we can show more contents before truncating
+
+* move specifier expansion from service_spawn() into load-fragment.c
+
+* optionally, also require WATCHDOG=1 notifications during service start-up and shutdown

+* resolved: maybe, after all, implement local listening for DNS packets on port
+ 127.0.0.53:53.
