Well Russell has stated that he has to for EU Privacy reasons. And I'd like to do it as I don't have a local suse.de hostname for my laptop and my employer probably doesn't really want my greg@dunce.kroah.org address showing up :)

But if you really don't like it, and you don't want anyone trying to hide anything, at least allow for a proper domainname. On my boxes, the domainname doesn't show up at all without that patch (just the getdomainname() part). I'll split it out if you want.

thanks,
