The only situation I might think of:

If you have several servers that are satellites to a central mail hub and they 
do not add their domain, but the central mail hub expects fqdn, it would 
probably cause problems. Servers, that only send logcheck, cron, … to the mail 
hub.

Most local services use „localhost“ (example: root@localhost). Even if your 
domain was localdomain, the append_… would make localhost.localdomain which is 
fqdn. So a central mail hub would accept this. But turning the default off, you 
not even would see that there was a service that would had have to be modified.

These are just my thoughts to it.
