[Container-tools] what part of podman still *requires* root privilege?

  currently messing with podman 1.1.2 on fedora 30 branched, and while
reading doug tidwell's online piece, "Podman - The next generation of
Linux container tools",

https://developers.redhat.com/articles/podman-next-generation-linux-container-tools/

i noticed the claim:

"The goal for podman version 1.0 is that the command should never
require root access."

  however, the man page states:

"Most Podman commands can be run as a regular user, without requiring
additional privileges.

  i am simply curious about the disconnect there -- what parts of
podman still require root access given the previous goal? thanks.
