-# resolv-conf — retiring
-
-`/etc/resolv.conf` belongs to the module holding `node-uplink` (novox/hq ADR 0223): networkmanager,
-systemd-networkd and dhcpcd each write it, listing the mesh's resolvers. This module declares
-nothing any more. It stays in the catalogue for one release so that the file passes from it to the
-uplink's holder in one apply on every machine — the host hands a whole file to the resource
-declaring its path now, rather than removing it first. Once every machine has applied that, it is
-unassigned everywhere, forgotten, and removed with the seat `node-resolver-config`.
