The enablement upstream was in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/5175 and the BZ requesting the change in Fedora was https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1392925. The original reasoning being that `localhost` is a bad hostname for auto-discovery protocols (think `avahi`) that are useful for more desktop applications.
In retrospect, that pretty clearly should have gone through the system-wide change process. Oh well.
I'm not fond of "fedora" as the default hostname — leaving aside my "Fedora is the _project_" windmill-tilting, it's just not likely to be unique. But I think this proposal (which includes just keeping that) is reasonable enough for now.
