Hi!
Just a little rant and feel free to ignore it.

NIH syndrome & what can even possibly go wrong?
I believe it is just a question of time until the first *grave* security
issue with that is revealed.
And the intended application of it: To use the own home directory on
different laptops? Why… at all… would I? Especially when one of those
laptops would be a device that I have otherwise no control over? I'd say
either I installed the laptop with Linux and thus trust it *or* it does
not ever see my $HOME.
But right on… extend Systemd until absurdity… maybe more people will see
the insanity in it.
Best,
Here we go again, reinventing the wheel ;-)
Windows has something similar, they call it roaming profiles and that
has its problems.
Why does it need over 21 thousand lines of code to do what I can do with
small bash scripts and pam-mount ?
