Has the attitude towards /etc/hosts changed again?
After a fresh install of current/i386,

        127.0.0.1       localhost
        ::1             localhost
        192.168.22.4    www.stare.cz www

The first two I would expect.
The last one was assigned to me via DHCP during install;
I am changing the network configuration now (to another,
static IP address), and removing it from /etc/hosts;
but it's easy to have a stale DHCP address
assigned during install left in /etc/hosts.

I believe it was discussed on the list before,
and the decision was not to do this.
Has the rationale changed?
