Features:
+* introduce an NSS module that uses machined info to give container UIDs pretty names when user namespacing is used.
+
+* stop using off_t, it's a crazy type. Use uint64_t instead.
+
+* logind: follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and relogins
+
+* change to KillMode=mixed by default
+
+* introduce argv0contains=
+
+* invent a better systemd-run scheme for naming scopes, that works with remoting
+
+* add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through binary logs data
+
+* change journalctl -M to acquire fd to journal directory via machined, and then operate on that via openat() instead of absolute paths
+
+* add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
+
+* log accumulated resource usage after each service invocation
+
+* networkd: dhcp server: try to assign stable IP addresses based on client's MAC address
+
+* nspawn: a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
+
+* logind: rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
+ the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
+ make assumptions about their slice anymore.
+
+* journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going. Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
+
+* nspawn: don't copy /etc/resolv.conf from host into container unless we are in shared-network mode
+
+* nspawn: optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is running, remove them when shut down.

+* importd: generate a nice warning if mkfs.btrfs is missing
+
+* nspawn: add a logic for cleaning up read-only, hidden container images in /var/lib/machines that are not ancestors of any non-hidden containers

+* nspawn: as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=, --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an interface be missing
