What I meant: If Fedora chooses a default, it is reasonable to expect that less effort is spent on alternatives, especially if the maintainers for those alternatives desire to do so. In theory, users could have been presented with a choice of different caching options during installation, including Unbound, dnsmasq and nscd, but that is not what was implemented, despite some concerns regarding the readiness of systemd-resolved. To me, this suggests that the Fedora project does not think that having those alternatives an option brings substantial value. I think it's only fair if package maintainers prioritize accordingly. Unbound and dnsmasq clearly have alternative usage scenarios beyond a caching DNS stub resolver, but we just don't see such alternative usage scenarios for nscd.
