I still have philosophical objects to myhostname as well. I find it odd that at one end, we struggle with DNS name space hijacking, but on another end, we do basically the same thing: <https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2026> The order in nsswitch.conf does not matter (and neither does any non-DNS name resolution mechanism) because if we end up having software which expects that “gateway” resolves to the IP address of the default gateway, we still have an interoperability problem. And if “gateway” is never intended for name resolution, why synthesize the name at all?
