I believe I have bitched about this before,
but I have come to it again with new install.

If I use [dhcp] to configure an interface during an install,
the ephemeral DHCP-assigned address gets written into /etc/hosts.

That address is meaningless after the reboot, possibly even
conflicting when I later decide on a fixed IP for the machine.

Should it be removed from /etc/hosts after the install,
when we have DNS set up and all? Should it at least
be mentioned in afterboot(8)?
