If you are too lazy to have a script properly configure your servers it
does not mean that the programs which rely on a properly configured
server to work are broken.

Considering that any non-trivial server needs to send email out, having
a working FQDN configured is not "obsolete".

Your solution to #562780 is broken anyway, /etc/hostname can (and
actually should) be a FQDN.
