At this shop nobody is going to notice how long it takes to boot Linux. They start from XAUTOLOG, and the operators are doing other work while they boot.

It's extremely slow, you will notice (especially if using sendmail). OTOH, adding this bogus information to /etc/hosts will make it boot nice and quickly, just like there's nothing wrong.
