The shared hosts file has been a feature here since the second came
online it round '00 to run an harbor freight milling machine,
And I'm not sure in a pi's config, where to put the net.ifnames=0.
/boot/cmdline.txt maybe? You have grub to splice all that together, but
the pi's are u-boot, as most of the arm stuff is. But with the pi4
coming online, with 4Gigs a dram, I'd sure like to see grub-2 ported to
arms. That would greatly simplicate kernel swapping.
