So I'm still not totally fond of it to be honest, at an era where
people are using server-templates to dynamically populate their
farms with fixed server names, and will instead replace the FQDN
at run time when populating their farms but I do see at least
some consistency in your use case.

I thought we could start better with limited extra effort by adding
one argument to the servers, that could later be changed from the
CLI so that users can decide how they update their farms.

Also for all those using DNS, it's actually the server's FQDN and not
its internal config name which will be required to be sent. As such I
still think that this feature as-is will quickly be deprecated and
dropped in future releases by lack of relevant use case.

If others think we should take this patch as a temporary step, I'm
not fundamentally against it, I'm just seeing it as a temporary hack.
In this case it will be desirable to write more than just a one-liner
for the keyword documentation entry and explain what it really does
so that it doesn't drive some users to wrong conclusions.

What do others think ? Igor maybe you have a particular opinion on
this one ? Baptiste, anything from the dynamic use cases you're aware
of ?

Thanks,
Willy
