Yet more unreasonable scope creep for the systemd project, and this time
reinventing the wheel for no good reason. There are already perfectly
good resolver libraries, caches, etc.; there is no good reason for
systemd to grow its own.
More bloat to fail, it may come as a shock, but there are computers running
Linux and not network connected at all (as in no NIC devices). Bloat for no benefit.
