Though I've since been thinking (and a quick codesearch[*] confirms it) that we have a bunch of hostname==service/vhost assumptions baked into our configuration management right now. While I'm not opposed to the plan in principle, executing it implies a pretty significant cleanup effort to stop using things like $::fqdn all over the place. That isn't work that I _personally_ have bandwidth to tackle right now, and it's a potentially disruptive effort for each of the services whose modules/classes need this sort of refactoring.
