Regardless of Lennart's personal views, this is something that definitely 
merits some attention, and perhaps to be fixed before go-live. They're used 
whenever there are no configured DNS servers, not in the event of 
misconfiguration. Perhaps we should update /etc/systemd/resolved.conf to 
include "FallbackDNS=" system-wide? That would fix this behavior, for sure, 
and prevent the privacy issue for our users.

Why in the world would systemd have anything to do with NTP? We still use 
ntpd, do we not? Checking my system.. Nope, but it's chronyd. Still not 
systemd.

Also, looks like systemd is adding itself as a user and group database? This 
is probably a bug. Right?
