Handling of /etc/hosts is highly site- and admin- specific in many more complex cases, and it's exceedingly hard and error- prone for NetworkManager to handle all those cases. So remove this functionality entirely. That's not a big loss, as it turns out there's a much more elegant solution. The only requirement is that the machine's hostname map back to an IP address owned by the machine. That requirement can be satisifed by nss-myhostname or even possibly the distro's installer. If the user does not want nss-myhostname then it can be uninstalled. Distros should use a "recommends" feature in their packaging system so that the NetworkManager package does *not* have a hard requirement on nss-myhostname. Thus everyone is happy; things Just Work when nss-myhostname is installed, but more advanced users can uninstall it and customize /etc/hosts as they wish. Another alternative is a dispatcher script that listents for the 'hostname' event, and updates /etc/hosts according to the administrator's preference.
