To be frank, when changing the default system resolver, expected
behavior should be the default.  It's all well and good saying that
non-equivalent resolvers are 'bad' - and in the case of dnsmasq, that
might be true - but that's a value judgement that shouldn't have a place
in this scenario, since users haven't made the choice to enable dnsmasq,
and so shouldn't have to be aware of the caveats (ie - "My DNS worked
fine before upgrade").
