How does this proposed change affect my clients, or especially my server (which uses NetworkManager (not Network), and a static IP address?
This should work just fine. If you upgrade your F20 machine to say F22, it would have the default resolver running on 127.0.0.1:53 with its entry in '/etc/resolv.conf'. One change you would need to do is to make it listen on 0.0.0.0:53 or the on static IP address of your server. Your clients won't know that they are talking to a different DNS resolver.
If your clients are upgraded to F22, NetworkManager there would make the local resolver talk to the one on your server, because it'll receive that name server configuration via DHCP.
I think the parent post is refering to the local domain name, I have read this thread and people talk about not touching ever the resolv.conf file. What about domain and search lines? If NetworkManager will always use 127.0.0.1, it should still modify resolv.conf with the domain name received from DHCP
As nice as unbound may be, documentation and configuration files related to this change should not assume it is the only DNS server for Fedora.
Nope, we don't assume that. In fact it's been discussed earlier here -> https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-April/198620.html
