resolvconf is not a good idea.
Using tmpfs to hold volatile state for RO or limited write media is
nothing new. Such sites normally have /var/run mounted as such and
/etc/resolv.conf as a symlink to an updateable location on tmpfs.
You seem to be under the impression that every Linux laptop user is also an
experienced Linux sysadmin...
And
when using dbus + dnsmasq + static /etc/resolv.conf no configuration
file needs updating.
Right, that I agree with. But you don't need resolvconf for that; you just
need the patch that I posted.
