Good Evening.
Hit that nail on the head and exactly what I was describing.
Thing is, why does upstream and/or other distros do that?
What is the reasoning?
The reason for setting a hostname on loopback is simple. Major distributions want to brand their installs even if the box has not network interface configured.
