Comment 41 for bug 1754671

On the switch to using dnsmasq: that decision predates my tenure so I have limited visibility. I can try to get our IT team to expend effort in moving to systemd-resolved and see what breaks. It may even be completely unnecessary in xenial, and is merely inherited to make our bionic setups less different.

I completely agree with the general observation that they should be filing bugs upstream and not working around them. But if I tell them that, I suspect they're going to point at this security regression in Xenial that still isn't fixed 14 months later, and tell me that working around things locally is much more effective. Right now, I don't know that I can tell them they're wrong.

Let's show them the process works, *then* I'll tell them they have to use it :)
