Oh my .....
Some parts of systemd are really brilliant. But the reasoning of 
L.Poettering in this case is completely brain-damaged and really stupid.
All days I'm fighting with people because of using ambiguous non fqdn 
denomination to talk about an fqdn entry. All DNS entity are fqdn 
entity. Non fqdn is only a notation that should have never 
exist/created. His ping example is exactly what should had not existed.
The guru vs non guru part is really pathetic.
I'm not sufficiently fluent in English to help you to advocate in the 
ticket for proper trailing dot handling, I'm fully aligned with your 
point of view and argument. It is critical for conformant behavior of 
the resolver for application usage and proper on wire/internet behavior.
I hope that some of dns-operation voice will help him to revise his 
position on the subject.
