Having just installed ubuntu 08.04 on a new server, then putting it in a datacenter over an hour away, then copying our master hosts file over and thus loosing the server, I can say that this bug is reason enough for us to drop the whole idea of moving to ubuntu. I think it needs a couple of more years. Obviously not many people use it, or this would not have ever passed through to a release version. The use case for a sys admin setting up network settings is that not all settings are set simultaneously. With no real root account (I was going to set it up soon), a remote server is now completely hosed. This is entirely too fragile to rely upon.
