No, though parts of systemd have a scope creep issue, that's not what I'm describing. I'm talking about Poettering deciding to create a service layer for Linux after stealing some ideas from MacOS. Reducing that to "scope creep" is misleading at best and feeds into the "systemd is a monolithic application" concern trolling at worst.

it is quite obviously not scope creep, as the systemd init system does not contain a DNS resolver. the systemd family of tools does contain one, because the creators decided to create one with functionality not existing in alternatives. but the init system does not have a built in DNS resolver.

Which goes against the do one thing and do it well philosophy that helps to keep things stable and secure.
