We’ve had earlier conversations about whether the resolver being used (local, remote, container host) is trusted to perform DNSSEC validation. How is this resolved? The Change page AFAICS doesn’t say.

Do you e.g. plan to have a configuration file which tells libc/and other applications dealing with resolv.conf directly to know whether the resolver can be trusted for DNSSEC? Or is perhaps the design that any resolver in /etc/resolv.conf is always trusted for DNSSEC, and sysadmins need to ensure that this is true if they use a remote one?
