we were the last operating system to have dynamic resolv.conf management and then the whiners who had left the operating systems with dynamic resolv.conf and come here for static resolv.conf became upset.
i am very sorry they got upset. not going to change it. after 2-3 years of small changes, the behaviour is working very well for everyone. and if you don't like it, just like all the other systems the are ways to turn it off. you don't need to broccoli. noone is going to smack you in the head if you push it to the side of your plate. but if you bring up your dislike for brocolli everytime you eat, you will collect a negative reaction.
