Sorry about that. When we enroll with FreeIPA or Active Directory through realmd, one side-effect of this enrollment is that the domain part of the local hostname is changed to match that of the domain into which they are enrolled. So if we set fedora-abcdefgh.localhost as the default domain and then enrolled with FreeIPA domain "fedoraproject.org", then the machine's full hostname would become fedora-abcdefgh.fedoraproject.org So my proposal really *was* to indicate that the default hostname should only be used when not part of a formal domain.
