systemd-resolvd doesn't support DNSSEC at all last I looked.

I don't think converting raw DNS wire format to dbus and back is a good idea. That means whenever the DNS protocol changes, someone has to update
systemd-resolvd. It's also scary to see what this does to real applications that do validation themselves that get this raw dns -> dbus -> raw dns delivered.
