His objection is that it doesn't replace the use case that resolvd is supposed to solve. Which is to provide a local service that can redirect DNS queries dynamically as local interfaces go up and down, which is where the integration with a DHCP client comes in.

Oh, OK. Thanks.

Makes sense; a lot of the systemd ecosphere seems to be about hotdesking, plugging things in and unplugging them, moving from one wifi AP to another, hibernating and so on. I don't encounter these use-cases, on the whole, which is probably a large part of why I find systemd so annoying.

Yeah, and I have some sympathies with what systemd is trying to do here, but the implementation is often backwards and/or half-arsed.
