Thoughtful. Can you say more about the "rollback" part? And what sort of problems you are encountering around package updates? Which packages, specifically?

I think I like the idea. But let's say, for instance, that I want to use systemd-analyze on occasion. (I know, not useful for a non-systemd WSL, but I do maintain other systems as well.) It would seem that I shouldn't exclude systemd updates, then.

In other words, if it is not breaking anything, I could still see some advantages to keeping systemd packages up to date. Thoughts?

The update included dependencies and weak-dependencies and systemd got installed as well as systemd-networkd I guess which deleted resolv.conf ... instantly removing name resolution ... For sure systemd adds itself to /etc/dnf/protected.d/ it does not ease rolling back.
Maybe it is possible to exclude just systemd-networkd I did not try.

Just curious... systemd-networkd is still messing with resolv.conf even after an unlink /etc/resolv.conf then creating a new one?
