1509N/A* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
1509N/A
1509N/A* NM should pull in network.target (PENDING)
1509N/A https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692008
1509N/A
1509N/A* make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
1509N/A
1509N/A* service: pid file reading after reload doesn't work, since we don't reset the pid variable

1509N/A
1509N/A* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up

1509N/A* make polkit checks async
1509N/A
1509N/AFeatures:
1509N/A
1509N/A* when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.

1509N/A* as Tom Gundersen pointed out there's a always a dep loop if people use crypto file systems with random keys
4972N/A
1509N/A* unset container= in PID1?
1509N/A
1509N/A* automatically escape unit names passed on the service (i.e. think "systemctl start serial-getty.service@serial/by-path/jshdfjsdfhkjh" being automatically escaped as necessary.

2086N/A for every user in /run/user/$USER with a configured maximum size
2086N/A
1509N/A* default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
1509N/A
1509N/A* add an option to make mounts private/shareable and so on, enable this for root by default
1509N/A
1509N/A* internal restart counter for units (focus on auto-respawn)
1509N/A
1509N/A* finer-grained auto-respawn settings (rate-limit)
1509N/A
1509N/A* be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
1509N/A needs to be auto-respawned?
1509N/A
1509N/A* Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
2630N/A
1509N/A* introduce sd_log_open() to create a connection to the syslog bridge via sd-daemon.h
1509N/A
1509N/A* when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
1509N/A
1509N/A* something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state

1509N/A
1509N/A* hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
1509N/A
1509N/A* when we automatically restart a service, ensure we retsart its rdeps, too.
1509N/A

1509N/A in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
2354N/A
2354N/A* make sure people don't leave processes around after ExecStartPre=

1509N/A
1509N/A* support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
1509N/A
1509N/A* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
1509N/A when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
1509N/A assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
1509N/A
1509N/A* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
1509N/A the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
