I'd be careful with this. I'd prefer a more generic default hostname over a more specific, so that we leak as little information about our system onto the network as possible. I mean, using "localhost.localdomain" is already leaky enough, given that only fedora is using this as default hostname — however, it's still better than telling everyone "Hay, I am running Fedora!".
