How do they implement this? I wonder if it would make sense to have systemd-hostname understand some character like # (which isn't valid in hostnames) in DEFAULT_HOSTNAME to be replaced with a random number seeded from the machine-id?
Zbyszek, do you think we could get something like this into upstream systemd?
We used to ask about it in the installer, and then maybe also initial setup. But in the interest of asking fewer questions, we don't anymore. I can see the argument either way.
