Confirms what I thought thanks Jacob
Hosts are also not on the plan, primarily because there already exist
better caching mechanisms such as dnsmasq. Secondarily, the long-term
plan over the next few years is to convert hosts lookups to using
unbound or other similar projects to enable dnssec, which necessitates
a caching application on the client machine anyway. So SSSD would
become superfluous in that situation in any case.
