In the welcome line, use NAME= as the fallback for PRETTY_NAME=.
PRETTY_NAME= doesn't have to be set, but NAME= should.

Welcome to Fedora Linux 37 (Rawhide Prerelease)!
[ !! ] This OS version (Fedora Linux 37 (Rawhide Prerelease)) is past its end-of-support date (1999-01-01)
Queued start job for default target graphical.target.
[ OK ] Created slice system-getty.slice.

We had a description in README, and an outdated list in the man page.
I think we should keep a reference-style list in the man page. The description
in README is more free-form.
I thought it would be nice to specify the last day of support, because I
thought it'd seem more natural. But in practice this doesn't work well, because
such a truncated timestamp is usually taken to mean midnight that starts the
given date. I.e. 2011-12-13 is a shorthand for 2011-12-13 00:00:00 and not
2011-12-13 23:59:59.999999999999. Let's instead specify that the given date is
the first unsupported day, which is meaningful for humans, and let the computer
treat it as midnight, which gives consistent interpratation.
Otherwise, idle action may be triggered before starting the test user
session.
This also introduce create_session() and cleanup_session() helper
functions.
Fixes#23952.
When using --root=/--image= the binaries to install/update will be
picked from the directory/image. Add an option to let the caller
choose.
By default (auto) the image is tried first, and if nothing is found
then the host. The other options allow to strictly try the image
or host and ignore the other.
This merges the various labelling calls into a single label_fix_full(),
which can operate on paths, on inode fds, and in a dirfd/fname style
(i.e. like openat()). It also systematically separates the path to look
up in the db from the path we actually use to reference the inode to
relabel.
This then ports tmpfiles over to labelling by fd. This should make the
code a bit less racy, as we'll try hard to always operate on the very
same inode, pinning it via an fd.
User-visibly the behaviour should not change.
This uses RET_NERRNO to more quickly pull the error code we see into
"r" out of "errno".
This does not change anything really. The only reason to do this is
because it is harder to break this accidentally. The thing is that
"errno" is easily set as side-effect of arbitrary functions. Thus, if we
rely on it being set for long code paths, we need to make carefully sure
that no code in between calls any function that might corrupt it as
side-effect. As far as I can see we did get this right. Nonetheless, I
think we should just store the value in "r" instead, to make it easier
to maintain this in the long run, if more code is inserted one day, who
knows.
mkdirat_errno_wrapper(x,y,z) is identical to RET_NERRNO(mkdirat(x, y,
z)). Let's always use the latter when we can, because easier to read,
shorter.
The only reason to have mkdirat_errno_wrapper() at all is so that we can
pass a function pointer to it around. Otherwise, let's not use it.
let's use our better, newer internal APIs for these purposes. This gets us
two things: safer handling when the root dir is specified, and better
handling of paths with trailing slashes, as we can refuse them whenever
a directory is not acceptable.
Let's make this functions that check validity of paths a bit more
friendly towards one specific kind of invalid path: a NULL pointer.
This follows similar logic in path_is_valid(), path_is_normalized() and
so on.
