NEWS: announce plan to drop support for nscd
This is in preparation for https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/30360 to be merged in a future release. As described there: nscd is known to be racy [1] and it was already deprecated and later dropped in Fedora a while back [1,2]. We don't need to support obsolete stuff in systemd, and the cache in systemd-resolved provides a better solution anyway. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DeprecateNSCD [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RemoveNSCD Note that our "support" is only the signal to flush the cache that we send at various points. Nscd itself may still exist, dropping it is a decision to be made in glibc.
