While I do agree that it would be nice to have an option to keep this information from appearing in the final rom, I think that: - Usernames are not that sensitive, and can be used to track who compiled a particular image in a small development team. This can be useful. For a bigger company, i would expect a build bot username at this place :) - You should never build anything on a non-development machine, particularly on exposed hosts - so I hope to never cross a coreboot rom built on "firewall1" :) I do get your point, however. For origin-tracing purposes, an unqualified host name should be sufficient, no need for the domain part. Development servers should be on private LANs, so these names should not directly resolve from outside. Yes, I know, should.
