Some releases of ubuntu have been exceptionally stubborn.
They don't use ifcfg-* scripts, and the docs available on the
release didn't match the actual behavior of the system, so
as opposed to spending several days of research, chattr
was much simpler :-).

Opensuse is also totally different, not using PEERDNS, but
at least opensuse provides an actual comment in the generated
/etc/resolve.conf file telling you how to modify the
default (which is good, because they can't make up their
mind how it should work, and they seem to change it in every
single opensuse release).

I do wish providing comments in automagically generated
config files like resolve.conf and others was a blocker for
releases. If the generated file doesn't have an accurate
comment describing how to modify the way it was generated,
you shouldn't be able to inflict the release on the world,
but right now opensuse seems to be the only distro I've
seen that provides the comment.
