Why does systemd need to provide it? I already provides enough things.

Are there any bugs in :

http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html

I had great success using that. Both installing it on my own or run it part of Ubuntu's base install.

(And the answer of "but it already provides everything + kitchen sink, might as well provide DNS caching too" would probably not be what most people would want to hear).

I'm not saying it needs to, or trying to defend systemd. All I'm saying that systemd is providing and alternative to running another resolver.

Depending in your standing as far as emacs goes, that may actually be something good.

I doubt you will find anyone interpreting this as such.
