So let me ExecSum what I wrote here. For systemd-resolved to become
a high quality DNS solution:

1) Remove custom DNS/DNSSEC resolving code and use a well maintained

"Custom" is in the eye of the beholder. It appears to me you mean that
in a derogatory way. I mean, given that Ubuntu has been enabling
systemd-resolved since quite some time by default I have the suspicion
our codebase is more often deployed IRL than the ones you listed?


Ubuntu enables it by default, but we don't know how many people use it.  My employer does not.  Our AD domain has a LOT of controllers, due to a large number of offices around the world. systemd-resolved couldn't handle resolving the A record for our domain, so we had to turn it off.

I believe that was fixed in PR 11993, but that bug was enough to convince me very solidly that systemd-resolved should have re-used an existing protocol implementation rather than writing another one.

You're right that DNS has of quirks and compatibility issues, and that's exactly why writing another protocol implementation is such a poor decision.
