 CHANGES WITH 245 in spe:
 
-        * A new tool "systemd-repart" has been added, that operates as an
-          idempotent, robust, incremental, elastic and declarative
-          repartitioner. It takes inspiration from
-          systemd-tmpfiles/systemd-sysusers but applies the algorithmic
-          concepts to GPT partition tables. Specifically, a set of partitions
-          that must or may exist can be configured via drop-in files, and
-          during every boot the partition table on disk is compared with these
-          files, creating missing partitions or growing existing ones based on
-          configurable relative and absolute size constraints. The tool is
-          strictly incremental, i.e. does not delete, shrink or move
-          partitions, but only adds and grows them. The primary use-case is OS
-          images that shall ship in minimized form, with only a minimal boot
-          and root partition, that on first boot is grown to the size of the
-          underlying block device or augmented with additional partitions. For
-          example, the root partition could be extended to cover the whole
-          disk, or a swap or /home partitions could be added implicitly on
-          first boot. It also has uses on systems that use an A/B update scheme
-          to allow shipping minimal images with just the A set of partition,
-          and with the B set added on first boot. The tool is primarily
-          intended to be run in the initrd, shortly before transitioning into
-          the host OS, but also can be run after the transition took place. It
-          automatically discovers the disk backing the root file system, and
-          should hence not require any additional configuration besides the
-          partition definition drop-ins.
-
-        * A new component "userdb" has been added, along with a small daemon
-          "systemd-userdb.service" and a client tool "userdbctl". The framework
-          allows defining rich user and group records in a JSON format,
-          extending on the classic "struct passwd" and "struct group"
-          structures. Various components in systemd have been updated to
-          process records in this format, including systemd-logind and
-          pam-systemd. The user records are intended to be extensible, and
-          allow setting various resource management, security and runtime
-          parameters that shall be applied to processes and sessions of the
-          user as they log in. This facility is intended to allow associating
-          such metadata directly with user/group records so that they can be
-          produced, extended and consumed in unified form. We hope that
-          eventually frameworks such as sssd will generate records this way, so
-          that for the first time resource management and various other
-          per-user settings can be configured in LDAP directories and then
-          provided to systemd (specifically to systemd-logind and pam-system)
-          to enforce on log-in. For further details see:
