This is a pretty wild claim:

"A truly portable home directory Outside of including a much-improved
security, systemd-homed will finally enable a truly portable home
directory. Because the /home directory will no longer depend on the
trifecta of systemd, /etc/passwd, and /etc/shadow, users and admins
will then be able to easily migrate directories within /home."

Especially since there's plenty of stuff outside of your home directory that's tied to your userid and groupid.

/var/spool/mail, for example.

Oh, we're not supposed read mail any more, on Linux? We're supposed to use Gmail, or something?
