Michael,

That definitely seems possible, however I think the reason hostname is used
because it is difficult / impossible in a troubleshooting scenario to
determine where tickets come from in a cluster if there isn't something
meaningful.  It is true something else can be used, however it would be best
if it was something known to ease those efforts.

With that being said, I'm not saying your thought doesn't have merit.  I
imagine if something was created and issued in a JIRA ticket that it would
be included.

Thanks,
A-
