The suggested line in nsswitch.conf is:

    hosts: files mymachines resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns myhostname

See https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/nss-resolve.html

So currently we leave "files" the way it is, taking precendence.

That said, resolved has a bus API for resolving hosts too, which gives
a bit richer an API to do things, instead of using
gethostbyname(). resolved parses and caches /etc/hosts for that
natively, so that we can server the same set of names when going via
the bus API or via NSS.

Yes.
