I am not a fan of such needless ambiguity, and it's not going to
retroactively fix the original reporter's configuration that has now
been fixed anyway... Moreover, across the systemd codebase in
configuration files we so far stuck to using mostly whitespace for
separating multiple values on the same config option line.
The thing is: separator characters end up being used for various other
purposes sooner or later. For example the DNS= lines in resolved.conf
already uses:
1. Dots (".") for separating IPV4 address bytes
2. Colons (":") for separating IPv6 address parts, as well as separating
port numbers from the IP addres
3. Brackets ("[]") for separating ipv6 addresses from the rest of the
construct
4. Percent ("%") characters to separate interface info from the rest
5. Hash ("#") characters to separate SNI host name specifications
Now, we currently don't use "," and ";" for separators here, but as
these things keep growing we might need them for something soon too.
