Yep, should be configured as well. But as you can see there, it doesn't
set the domainname of the system:
# DNSDOMAIN merely sets the domain entry in /etc/resolv.conf, see

e. So, it's not "as always".
So, where is it set then? The /etc/conf.d/domainname is in my system.
Why isn't it removed if it is obsolete?
