I don't think that's correct. They have the same *name*, but they
have entirely different invocations, means of operation, configuration,
and so on. Neither one is a drop-in replacement for the other. That's
part of what makes the whole situation so egregious.
And it turns out there's a potential third one, too -- systemd's
resolvctl has special behavior if invoked by a symlink named resolvconf.
Fortunately for us, no such symlink exists by default, so all that's
present is a confusing man page.

That one's pretty good. I added something similar to the page.
