Pfff, now I'm confused. Here is a case where systemd-resolved implements the
standard, and some people were unhappy because they were relying on sloppy
implementations which don't follow the RFC. Nevertheless, we added an opt-in
switch to make this work. (Since this feature mostly matters in "special"
setups like k8s, where you need to do a lot of local setup anyway, requiring
a one-line option seems to be reasonable).
