Thanks. [ Anyone else with strong preferences in either direction? ]
Note, there is a difference between starting with a different
default (and building a configuration that works with that) and
having the default change on a system with an existing configuration
that relies on the previous behaviour.
So yes, append_dot_mydomain=no has proved usable, but migration
from "yes" to "no" may require updating aliases files and the like
at sites that relied on the previous default or they can of course
simply set "append_dot_mydomain = yes" as part of the upgrade.
