Why was this bug marked as invalid? If a command gives a warning it shows that something is not properly implemented. Either the warning is deprecated or the cause for the warning is reasonable and the issue should be fixed. My understanding of proper programming is that every entry in /etc/passwd must have existing values. So if there is a home dir specified in /etc/passwd I expect it to exist or to be created at boot time. Ohterwise programs that may rely on the values in /etc/passwd may not work properly.

If systemd-resolve has a volatile home directory I expect this directory to be created at boot time. It seems that there is no regression test before release that makes sure that no such errors are reported.
