Yeah, and it's also nonsense as far as I can tell. Here's what the man
page for Network Manager actually says:
dns
Set the DNS processing mode.
none: NetworkManager will not modify resolv.conf. This implies
rc-manager unmanaged
rc-manager
Set the resolv.conf management mode. This option is about how
NetworkManager writes to /etc/resolv.conf, if at all.
If you configure dns=none or make /etc/resolv.conf immutable
with chattr +i, NetworkManager will ignore this setting and
always choose unmanaged (below).
symlink: If /etc/resolv.conf is a regular file or does not
exist, NetworkManager will write the file directly.
file: NetworkManager will write /etc/resolv.conf as regular
file.
unmanaged: don't touch /etc/resolv.conf.
