generators do not automatically pull in the corresponding .mount unit
as a Wants= dependency. This means that simply plugging in the device
will not cause the mount unit to be started automatically. But please
note that the mount unit may be started for other reasons, in particular
if it is part of local-fs.target, and any unit which (transitively)
depends on local-fs.target is started.

* $PIDFILE is set to point the absolute path configured with PIDFile=
for processes of that service.
* networkctl list/status/lldp now accept globbing wildcards for network
interface names to match against all existing interfaces.
* The $PIDFILE environment variable is set to point the absolute path
configured with PIDFile= for processes of that service.
* The fallback DNS server list was augmented with Cloudflare public DNS
servers. Use `-Ddns-servers=` to set a different fallback.

a bridge, bond, or similar, and an new 'degraded-carrier'

when one of the enslaved devices is not operational.
* The PrivateNetwork= setting and JoinsNamespaceOf= dependencies now
have an effect on .socket units: when used the listening socket is
created within the configured network namespace instead of the host
namespace.
The RequiredForOnline= setting in .network files may now specify a

minimum operational state required for the interface to be considered
"online" by systemd-networkd-wait-online.

* systemd-tmpfiles will now take a BSD file lock before operating on a
contents of directory. This may be used to temporarily exclude
directories from aging by taking the same lock (useful for example
when extracting a tarball into /tmp or /var/tmp as a privileged user,
which might create files with really old timestamps, which
