Could we somehow allow to deliberately not send any hostname?
ISC dhcpcd allows setting it to 'null' or 'localhost' for that
purpose.
There are two possible uses for not sending the hostname in the DHCP
request:
i) expecting the hostname to be assigned by the DHCP server
ii) minimizing the amount of identifyable bits being sent, e.g.
when connecting to public networks
