There was a problem hiding this comment.
It's now longer optionally if it is the default? I mean, not wrong but sounds misleading. I also believe you should add a pointer that disabling it is safe and yields smaller builds.

Add a pseudomodule called gnrc_dns_default which enables DNS resolution via GNRC, caching, and the handling of the RDNSS options in RAs.

Contribution description
The example applications
gnrc_networkingandpaho-mqttare quite useful for testing and/or demonstrating RIOT's networking capabilities. For convenience the use of hostnames instead of IP addresses is preferable. So far, DNS resolution has been disabled by default. IMO it would be much nicer - particularly for newbies, if DNS resolution would work out of the box.The downside: approx. 3k more ROM and about 160 Bytes more RAM usage (on ARM-Cortex). So, I expect this PR to fail on some constrained platforms. However, I think for an example application this is still bearable.

Another PR which configures a DNS resolver on the 6lbr example by default is about to come.
