<pre wrap="">Congratulations. We now have inconsistent behavior if anyone, <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>ever<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b>,
edits /etc/resolf.conf with 'sed -i', uses "rsync -a" or "cp -a" tp
reproduce it from a known good repository, and with a symlink in place
we're storing absolutely critical system information in a non /etc
location, meaning that non-modified backup systems won't get a copy
with valid content.
Just..... great.</pre>

I guess you missed the part that it did nothing if the file existed.<br>
<br>
Even after spending what 8 years in Fedora's QA ( longer than any
of their so called hired employee working in that area ) as well as
handling the systemd integration for wide variety of component I was
not even allowed to see RHEL systemd integration bug trackers until
in some case other Red Hat employees ranted over their coworkers how
stupid they were not allowing the guy handling the integration doing
so. <br>
<br>
I know first hand the state of systemd in Fedora and I have seen the
state it's in RHEL and I know Red Hat did nothing to improve the
situation from what it was in Fedora not even make some of those
implementations "enterprise grade" so regarding the rest of your
rant neither upstream nor Fedora ( despite Red Hat royally abusing
it's community and shape it in it's image ) has any control over any
decisions Red Hat makes about it's RHEL release so use that support
contract you are paying Red Hat for and wreak havoc with them. <br>
<br>
Hopefully that havoc from you and from other customers will ring
some wakeup bells with it's managers and get them thinking.<br>
