systemd-networkd is not enabled by default (even when its binaries might be installed).

By domain knowledge how to do this securely in implementations tested oer time, do you mean something like https://access.redhat.com/articles/2161461?

It doesn't look like systemd's resolver fares worse in comparison... In addition it can be sandboxed (and is), an advantage over having a resolver part of libc.

Which is interesting given Debian doesn't use systemd-resolved (unless manually configured). So they made up problems that don't exist by default?
