The most likely best long term solution for this problem, at least for 
Fedora (and other distros that use NetworkManager), is to create a 
WireGuard NetworkManager plugin similar to the OpenVPN plugin.

https://src.fedoraproject.org/git/rpms/NetworkManager-openvpn.git
https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-openvpn

This way we are not fighting with NetworkManager over control over the 
resolv.conf file and we integrate with the desktop well.

The hatchet proposal sounds fine for a short term solution, but if 
WireGuard is to replace something like OpenVPN we will need to drink the 
distro koolaid on how VPN services are managed on the desktop.
