For the general use-case, I think that a long hostname at the prompt is overkill. I have no problem with the full hostname always being shown at the login screen, but does every computer on my network really need to waste the space to show an extra 15-20 characters every time the prompt comes up? Seeing as this feature seems to make most sense in a cloud setting, wouldn't it make sense to ship a package (bash-prompt-full-fqdn or something like that) that contains the necessary PS1 adjustments and make it default for the Cloud group?
