 CHANGES WITH 239 in spe:
 
         * NETWORK INTERFACE DEVICE NAMING CHANGES: elogind-udevd's "net_id"
-          builtin will name network interfaces differently than in previous
-          versions for virtual network interfaces created with SR-IOV and NPAR
-          and for devices where the PCI network controller device does not have
-          a slot number associated.
-
-          SR-IOV virtual devices are now named based on the name of the parent
-          interface, with a suffix of "v<N>", where <N> is the virtual device
-          number. Previously those virtual devices were named as if completely
-          independent.
-
-          The ninth and later NPAR virtual devices will be named following the
-          scheme used for the first eight NPAR partitions. Previously those
-          devices were not renamed and the kernel default (eth<n>) was used.
-
-          "net_id" will also generate names for PCI devices where the PCI
-          network controller device does not have an associated slot number
-          itself, but one of its parents does. Previously those devices were
-          not renamed and the kernel default (eth<n>) was used.
+          builtin may name network interfaces differently than in previous
+          versions. SR-IOV virtual functions and NPAR partitions with PCI
+          function numbers of 8 and above will be named more predictably, and
+          udev may generate names based on the PCI slot number in some cases
+          where it previously did not.

+        * Note that all long-running system services shipped with elogind will
+          now default to a system call whitelist (rather than a blacklist, as
+          before). In particular, elogind-udevd will now enforce one too. For
+          most cases this should be safe, however downstream distributions
+          which disabled sandboxing of elogind-udevd (specifically the
+          MountFlags= setting), might want to disable this security feature
+          too, as the default whitelisting will prohibit all mount, swap,
