Features:
+* nspawn: support uid mapping bind mounts, as defined available in kernel 5.12,
+ for all our disk image needs
+
+* homed: if kernel 5.12 uid mapping mounts exist, use that instead of recursive
+ chowns.
+
+* cryptsetup: tweak tpm2-device=auto logic, abort quickly if firmware tells us
+ there isn't any TPM2 device anyway. that way, we'll wait for the TPM2 device
+ to show up only if registered in LUKS header + the firmware suggests there is
+ a device worth waiting for.
+
+* systemd-sysext: optionally, run it in initrd already, before transitioning
+ into host, to open up possibility for services shipped like that.
+
+* add a flag to the GPT spec that says "grow my fs to partition size", and make
+ it settable via systemd-repart. Add in growfs jobs in
+ systemd-gpt-auto-generator when it is set, and issue the ioctls while
+ mounting in systemd-npsawn --image=. That way systemd-repart suffices to
+ enlarge an image.
+
+* add a new switch --auto-definitions=yes/no or so to systemd-repart. If
+ specified, synthesize a definition automatically if we can: enlarge last
+ partition on disk, but only if it is marked for growing and not read-only.
+
+* add a switch to homectl (maybe called --first-boot) where it will check if
+ any non-system users exist, and if not prompts interactively for basic user
+ info, mimicing systemd-firstboot. Then, place this in a service that runs
+ after systemd-homed, but before gdm and friends, as a simple, barebones
+ fallback logic to get a regular user created on uninitialized systems.
+
* maybe add a tool that displays most recent journal logs as QR code to scan
off screen and run it automatically on boot failures, emergency logs and
such. Use DRM APIs directly, see
