So NetworkManager now knows how to set the hostname properly?
Now that all depends on your definition of properly. There are cases
where changing the hostname of a running system will break other running
software. It's not a perfect world, neither option is that great.
Point taken. However, I have been setting hostnames via DHCP for years
(both Fedora and CentOS on over 300 machines), and have never had anything
break because of it (not one single breakage of any kind). I've also tried
NM a few times (maybe 10 times) and have never had it work "properly" even
once. When deploying a large number of equivalent machines (more than
two), it is simply not acceptable for there to be a need for the system
image to contain the hostname _anywhere_, as seems to be currently
required by NM.
