My favorite part is they're funding making home directory encryption a first-tier integrated feature of GNOME[1]
For anyone that doesn't know, homed allows using different mechanism as backing storage (e.g. directory, luks loopback, btrfs subvolume, separate drive and more). It stores user information usually store in passwd and shadow in a signed ~/.identity file allowing it to be entirely portable. Changes need to be done via homectl as it needs to be resigned by a system specific key (same for when a new home dir is added) and some changes are limited to admin only, while others can be done by the user themselves.
