Thanks, I guess I misunderstood because of alarmist tones.
I think it's fair to say that there's a lesson to be learned here.
This will work just fine, writing to resolv.conf is indeed something advanced, and a user that can set that up will likely know how to fix it as well.
Additionally, Fedora's default configuration (for many, many, many years now) has had /etc/resolv.conf dynamically generated by NetworkManager. Local changes made directly to resolv.conf could (and would) get blown away at any time.
So users needing a non-volatile resolv.conf already have to take extra steps to achieve that. Under this proposal, different (but simpler!) steps will be necessary to achieve the same result.
