The DNS resolver seems to break DNS, the time system no longer acts as a server

This isn't necessarily a problem with the systemd project, it's more on the distros that bundle these service, but when you have the same branding across multiple systems, you have to take the bad with the good.

Had they called it "multidnsd" or "ntpclientd" then people wouldn't think "systemd sucks because when MyDistro 9 came along", they've blame multidnsd and let the systemd init system stand on it's own.

I don't recall the DNS resolver actually breaking DNS without it being fixed. And I'm not sure why most systems need NTP to run as a server.

You can always disable them at runtime or during compile and use your own though.
