I'll correct you.

The fact is, that's not what people do. Not me, not kernel.org, not _any_ of the machines I've got access to. They put the fully qualified name in the hostname, and just do "search foo.com" in /etc/resolv.conf.

So clearly, expecting that people work the way you claim is being extremely optimistic. I'm sure some people do that too, but I suspect I'm in the majority. Both Fedora Core and YellowDog act the way I described, not the way you do..
