Is IDependencyResolver an anti-pattern?

by

If you look at the signature you will see that it’s just a Service Locator with another name. Service Locator is an anti-pattern and I consider the relationship transitive, so I consider IDependencyResolver an anti-pattern.

Apart from that, the interface is also broken because it has no Release method.
