As an aside, can we try to get "default hostname" off the list? I've actually
been trying to push for eliminating the default hostname in favor of a
randomly-generated valid name so that we can play better with FreeIPA and AD
environments. (Clients of those systems must always have unique names; conflicts
cause hard-to-debug issues).

One such reference: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/164 (the
implementation is mostly abandoned at this point, but the purpose is unchanged)

Or, if it is determined that this is important to do, can we try for something
like "fedora-UUID" as a default hostname, so it's at least unique?


Or a UUID fragment? It just 6 characters from /dev/urandom? A full UUID is unwieldily long.
