I assume this is a copy paste error... Seems like you're suggesting we use resolved by default? Yes it is, the new hosts line will be: hosts: files resolve mymachines myhostname

Yes too, I'm suggesting to use nss-resolve by default, as it switch to nss-dns for configuration with systemd-resolved disabled.

I'd advice against that at this time, nss-resolve has some strange issues now, and also the fallback is not ideal breaks some apps: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1965 and doesn't fallback when dbus is not available https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1692
