Right now, you'd see the hostname on the machine itself in the
Sharing and
Details panels in GNOME, in bash's prompt, and in quite a few
remotely accessible
services (the Bluetooth name, shared media, ssh, etc.).
There's nothing stopping us from having a hidden/secondary hostname
though,
and a randomly generated one would fit perfectly for this sort of
use case.
Now that would be confusing for users -- a hidden name that bears no
relation to the exposed name.
