 * sd-boot: optionally, show boot menu when previous default boot item has
   non-zero "tries done" count
 
+* maybe set a special xattr on cgroups that have delegate=yes set, to make it
+  easy to mark cut points, then use this information in "systemd-cgls" to show
+  them (e.g. color delegated subtrees in a different color)
+
 * introduce an option (or replacement) for "systemctl show" that outputs all
   properties as JSON, similar to busctl's new JSON output. In contrast to that
   it should skip the variant type string though.
