===[[Changes/XorgWithoutRootRights | Xorg without root rights]]===
===[[Changes/Smaller Cloud Image Footprint | Smaller Cloud Image Footprint]]===
The Xorg xserver is a large piece of software which currently runs as root, making it a potential vector for attacks against the system. With recent changes made to systemd-logind it is possible for the xserver to let systemd-logind do device management for it, at which point the xserver will no longer need root rights. Initially this will likely be implemented as the xserver dropping root rights early on.
Shrink the footprint of our cloud images as far as reasonably, and within the given timeframe, possible.

===[[Changes/jQuery | jQuery]]===
===[[Changes/Web Assets | Web Assets]]===
jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library. It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers. With a combination of versatility and extensibility, jQuery has changed the way that millions of people write JavaScript.
Traditionally, Fedora has been pushing bits from its various servers to people's browsers in an ad-hoc fashion, and issues surrounding JavaScript have been swept under the rug. This change proposal provides a simple framework for shipping static web content and a way forward to treat JavaScript more closely to other code in the distribution.
