> Systemd-resolved continues the systemd tradition of replacing venerable, low-level system components

Serious question: what is vulnerable in my (non systemd-resolved) desktop DNS configuration I've been using for years? This statement is presented as if it were a "everyone knows this" fact about workstation DNS, but I don't. Just your average Linux desktop, nothing fancy.

venerable, not vulnerable


Was that corrected later? I could swear I saw "vulnerable" too and interpreted it as "old unmaintained software that could be easily took over by systemd".


facepalm sigh
