> If an admin does rm /etc/resolv.conf on the 14.04, name resolving stops working
Actually it doesn't. In the absence of /etc/resolv.conf the resolver simply defaults to the configuration equivalent to "nameserver 127.0.0.1".
The case I have in mind is:
* Install 12.04
* Do `rm /etc/resolv.conf`
* Upgrade resolvconf to 1.63ubuntuNewWi
After this will there be something at /etc/resolv.conf? If so then this is contrary to the Debian/Ubuntu principle that packages don't undo changes made by admins.
