The D in Systemd is for Directories: Poettering says his creation will phone /home in future

WTF?

Fine for a stand-alone machine, but...

"Poettering's idea is to have self-contained home folders, where the system assigns an UID automatically if it detects that the folder exists"

So if that UID/GID isn't fixed, how is the poor user meant to access shared directories on a server ?

(The answer is probably in the presentation, but I just couldn't sit through it)
