Bastian Nocera also filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1392925,
where he proposes "fedora" as the hostname. I think "fedora" is better than
"localhost", and a non-constant hostname would be even better.
For interactive installs (like with anaconda) it would be great if we could
ask for the hostname. For non-interactive ones, "Fedora-[0-9a-z-]{8}" seems
like a good option (*). It would give "branding", and solve the freeipa issues.
It would also be a good default for the interactive case, so that people can
"click through" without having to pick anything.

(*) The suffix could include dashes for more possibilities, but they should 
not be adjacent or at the end.
