Systemd DNS resolver strips underscores

Which begs the question as to the logic of putting a DNS resolver into an init system designed to .. initialize and run processes at boot. And who the fuck passed 'Systemd DNS resolver ' into production code without properly testing it.

What'll this do for DNS spoofing and security given the existence of visually similar unicode characters.
