I've tested this with default EC2 and GCE instances, which by default
return the cloud internal hostname. I would say that this is a reasonable
configuration. If it is not configured this way, the address needs to be
configured (which is the current behavior). With a good startup/error message
this should be fine.
Still, I start to feel like we are discussing this issue for too long w/o
anybody asking for it. Since we have to rebase this on the recent big changes
anyways, let's close this PR and reconsider it the issue if someone
complains/asks for it. Agree?
