"Dnsmasq cascade" (#72) has maintenance advantages. For example it makes it easy for the distromaestros to switch to other software to perform the same limited task as nm-dnsmasq now performs, without any chance of disturbing admins' standalone dnsmasq setups.

Does dnsmasq-cascade have drawbacks compared with "Single dnsmasq" as described by Alkis in #73?

Yes...
* Dnsmasq cascade requires that standalone dnsmasq run in bind-interfaces mode.
    -- Solvable by moving nm-dnsmasq to another port: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14242
* Dnsmasq cascade requires two processes rather than one.
    -- but resource usage is low so this doesn't seem important

But are there other drawbacks?
