> The ntp and dns are easy to replace, they're not part of the actual systemd binary. They really aren't. It took us a full week of work to get dnsmasq to work in place of systemd-resolved. The problem is that they are tied in to the dhcp client and it only seems to know how to update systemd-resolved's configuration. So getting our custom search path out of dhcp was a huge pain. I like almost every other part of systemd, but trying to excise systemd-resolved from Ubuntu 18.04 was massively frustrating to the point where I started thinking, "maybe the systemd haters are right…"
