OK, if one of you can give a description of what the needs are.  So
far, I've heard:

SSSD, but there was already a longish thread on why SSSD could solve
all of its problems without any kernel changes at all.  I didn't see a
compelling answer there.

journald for things in containers, but this doesn't seem to me to
require any help from the kernel.

journald for things not in containers.  This one is legit, although it
can be solved, albeit with some races, in current kernels.  Is this
the only example?
