Though I don't like the current way Oneiric manages /etc/hosts (and submitted related bug #890501) I agree with Scott that it is how Oneiric works on EC2 and changes could cause existing installations to break. In fact, I have automated system code that works around the "bug" which would break if the behavior were fixed. Not horrible for me personally, but I don't know how many might be in a similar situation.
