We should also mention this in NEWS before release. Suggested text:
> DBus policy files are now installed into /usr rather than /etc. Make sure
> your system has dbus = 1.9.18 running before upgrading to this version, or
> override the install path with --with-dbuspolicydir=
This commit rips out systemd-bootchart. It will be given a new home, outside
of the systemd repository. The code itself isn't actually specific to
systemd and can be used without systemd even, so let's put it somewhere
else.
As kdbus won't land in the anticipated way, the bus-proxy is not needed in
its current form. It can be resurrected at any time thanks to the history,
but for now, let's remove it from the sources. If we'll have a similar tool
in the future, it will look quite differently anyway.
Note that stdio-bridge is still available. It was restored from a version
prior to f252ff17, and refactored to make use of the current APIs.
Let's add an extra-safety net and change UID/GID to the "systemd-coredump" user when processing coredumps from system
user. For coredumps of normal users we keep the current logic of processing the coredumps from the user id the coredump
was created under.

util-linux 2.27.1 now entirely stops looking at /etc/mtab, so we don't need to
verify /etc/mtab during early boot any more. Later on, tmpfiles.d/etc.conf will
fix /etc/mtab anyway, so there's not even a point in warning about it.
Drop test_mtab() and bump the util-linux dependency to >= 2.17.1.
Fixes#1495
The current implementation directly monitor /proc/self/mountinfo and
/run/mount/utab files. It's really not optimal because utab file is
private libmount stuff without any official guaranteed semantic.
The libmount since v2.26 provides API to monitor mount kernel &
userspace changes and since v2.27 the monitor is usable for
non-root users too.
This patch replaces the current implementation with libmount based
solution.

We generally try to support 2y old kernels, which allows us bump the
minimal required version to 3.11 now.
Also, clarify that support for the unified cgroup hierarchy requires 4.2
or newer.
Introduce /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install [--root=] <action> <name>
abstraction, replacing the direct calling of chkconfig. This allows
distributions to call their specific tools like update-rc.d without patching
systemd.
Ship systemd-sysv-install.SKELETON as an example for packagers how to implement
this.
Drop the --enable-chkconfig configure option.
Document this in README and point to it in NEWS.
This patch simplify swapon usage in systemd. The command swapon(8)
since util-linux v2.26 supports "-o <list>". The idea is exactly the
same like for mount(8). The -o specifies options in fstab-compatible
way. For systemd it means that it does not have to care about things
like "discard" or another swapon specific options.
swapon -o <options-from-fstab>
For backward compatibility the code cares about "Priority:" swap unit
field (for a case when Priority: is set, but pri= in the Options: is
missing).

tcpwrap is legacy code, that is barely maintained upstream. It's APIs
are awful, and the feature set it exposes (such as DNS and IDENT
access control) questionnable. We should not support this natively in
systemd.
Hence, let's remove the code. If people want to continue making use of
this, they can do so by plugging in "tcpd" for the processes they start.
With that scheme things are as well or badly supported as they were from
traditional inetd, hence no functionality is really lost.
gold doesn't exhibit the problems with linking of compatibility
libraries.
It is also slightly faster:

Let's try to standardize on a single non-cryptographic hash algorithm,
and for that SipHash appears to be the best answer.
With this change there are two other hash functions left in systemd: an
older version of MurmurHash embedded into libudev for the bloom filters
in udev messages (which is hard to update, given that the we probably
should stay compatible with older versions of the library). And lookup3
in the journal files (which we could replace for new files, but which is
probably not worth the work).
* library support for setns() system call was added to glibc
version 2.14 (setns() call is use in src/machine/machinectl.c
and src/libsystemd-bus-container.c)
* utf8 validation call are already exported (via sd-utf8.c file) -
