-agetty
------
- - support default issue (/etc/issue) output for agetty to make it agetty
- usable on systems with empty /etc.
-
- This change is little bit controversial, because now agetty prints nothing
- by default and it's probably used by admins to hide information about the
- system to unauthorized users. We already have --noissue to disable issue
- output. The question is if admins use this option, "rm /etc/issue" is
- probably easer than modify inittab (or systemd unit file).
-
- Maybe we can implement it by --enable-agetty-default-issue compile option and
- move the decision to downstream maintainers ;-)

libmount (mount/umount)
-----------------------
+ - remount all filesystems given their type, for example:
+ mount -a -t tmpfs -o remount
+ It should be probably enough to add remount_all() to mount(8) in way we
+ already have mount_all(). https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/589
+
- add --onlyonce to force mount(8) to check if mountpoint is already used. Now
"already mounted" detection is used for --all only. The problem is if you
call "mount <mountpoint>" more than once for in fstab defined tmpfs (or network
filesystem etc.). In this case kernel does not return EBUSY, but a new instance
of the FS is created. https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/448
+ (... just idea, maybe wrong idea)
- support CAP_SYS_ADMIN; for mount(2) syscall the CAP_SYS_ADMIN is good
enough. Unfortunately, mount(8) does more things like check for filesystem
