If they just add the PrimaryInterface statement, they don't need to worry about the order. The problem with NETSTAT HOME is that you still don't know which interface is primary. And I should point out that the intent of (GET)HOSTID is not to return an IP address, but to return a 32-bit number that uniquely identifies a host. It turns out that a routable IPv4 address is a pretty good approximation.
