Yes, but only IF NetworkManager is being used for DNS. If you don't set DNS servers there, or use a static configuration (as I do both at home and at work, and many others do, even though NetworkManager), this is just going to break users' systems. > So users needing a non-volatile resolv.conf already have to take extra > steps to achieve that.

And, upon upgrade, their file will be removed without even checking to see if it's set by NetworkManager or the end user, and replaced with a symlink. This will needlessly break users' systems upon upgrade. Lennart described another mode of operation for systmed- resolved, where it continues to use /etc/resolv.conf exactly as you'd expect. -- John M.
