We agreed to go with this approach. /etc/resolv.conf will be moved to
/etc/resolv.conf.orig-with-nm on upgrade to F33 if the 'Generated by
NetworkManager' comment is present. If you've gone to the trouble to
prevent NetworkManager from managing this file, it's likely you've also
removed the comment. If not, you can either remove the comment before
upgrade, or recover your previous configuration from the
/etc/resolv.conf.orig-with-nm backup file after upgrade, and hopefully
have only a small blip in your upgrade experience. This will make the
upgrade work properly for the 99% of users who don't mess with the
defaults and should not be too difficult for those who do.
That comment being there doesn't mean that is still the case. I haven't
removed that comment, I just fixed the file. It would be best to just not mess
with this file on upgrade, and, instead, change the behavior of new installs.
This wouldn't break anything, and would have all newly installed systems with
the configuration you seem to want.
There's no reason to break peoples' systems here, we can easily plan for this.
I also don't know where you're getting this estimate of 99% of users not
changing this file.
