Except where they don't, and it's unpredictable where they will break
things. They're already broken /etc/resolv.conf several times with
back&forth inconsistent replacement of it with a symlink, and they
don't seem to understand that establishing a configuraton symlink,
controlling the target of it,  and failing to keep the symlink
established will intermittently break all longstanding network
configuration tools.

And yes, they are "strongly pressuring" if not forcing" it by
migrating core system configurations into the systemd managed
"stateless" directories. This already includes system logging and
DHCP.
