Re: IPv6-only with SLAAC doesn't update resolv.conf

Of course not. resolvconf does not create DNS, it just manages DNS sources. It is useful if you have several DNS sources conflicting with each other such as DHCP, SLAAC...

What would be Linux' solution to such a typical setup where no DHCPv6
server is around, like in any consumer environment?

Install rdnssd.

Is there a gap of thinking, either on my side or on Linux's developers side?

The kernel alone receives IPv6 router advertisements (RAs) but will not modify any file such as resolv.conf. So a userland process must do it. This is the purpose of rdnssd.
