After reading the man pages of the replacements for dhclient(8) it looks
like it will no longer be possible to prevent DNS entries in a DHCP offer
from ending up in the resolv.conf - as is practically always the case with
a residential Internet connection with DHCP. I don't want my ISP's DNS
servers *anywhere* in my resolv.conf, so I tell dhclient(8) to SUPERSEDE
DOMAIN-NAME-SERVERS, but now it looks like OpenBSD will no longer allow me
the choice and instead decides for me that DNS entries in DHCPOFFER must
always be included and made available for eventual use. Why? This is taking
control out of the hands of users and I cannot see any sense in the
rationale.
