It wasn't in the man page from Red Hat 5.2 when I checked in 2017, either.

https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/09/msg01038.html

Here's another thread from 2018:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2018/08/msg01433.html

Note that this time, Gene omitted the comma, and said that the
resolv.conf file "looks something like this"; IOW he's going from
memory rather than just catting the file.

And a thread from 2019:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2019/06/msg00046.html

This time the comma is gone, and Gene may or may not have actually
catted the file -- we can't be sure, because he does not paste the actual
terminal session including the shell prompt and the command issued.

As I've said, we've been through this for literally YEARS.
